September 3, 2024
In case you missed it…News & Observer reported this morning that since he was in the State Senate, vulnerable Democrat Don Davis has a habit of skipping hard votes.
For example, Davis has intentionally skipped votes on:
❌ Improving border security
❌ Standing with Israel
❌ Requiring doctors to save a baby born alive after a botched abortion
❌ Using public restrooms in accordance to an individual's biological sex
In November, North Carolina voters will contrast Davis' record of skipping out on tough decisions with veteran Laurie Buckhout - who has never run from a fight.
