I’m Erica Smith and I’m running to represent North Carolina’s 1st Congressional District.
I have spent my life fighting for and believing in this community. Now I’m asking you to put your faith in me.
Together, there is nothing we can’t do.

From the campaign trail to the policymaking, our government should not be corporate sponsored.

I put these two clips of Daddy together because I want to share him saying “I’m tired of marching,” then, after continuing the multifaceted work of nonviolence, saying “I’ve been to the mountaintop.”
The 2nd clip is from the speech he gave the night before he was assassinated.

This is what this shutdown fight is about. It’s a question of priorities.

Sixty years ago, on this day in 1965, Brother Malcolm (el-Hajj Malik el-Shabazz) was assassinated.
Gunned down in front of his wife and daughters.
What a tragic day for humanity.
I’m praying today for his daughters, who I love dearly.

I'm just going to put this out there: Spending hundreds of millions of dollars on private school vouchers is a horrible fiscal decision in light of the massive state needs to help WNC recover from this disaster.

Federal disaster assistance is available to North Carolina to supplement recovery efforts in the areas, FEMA announced TODAY.
FEMA has a phone app. The one on my phone includes "Apply for Individual Assistance".

The ovation for Kamala Harris in Greensboro, NC must be seen and heard to be believed. This is two and half minutes of cheering that could rival any concert or sports crowd for loudness and intensity.

I’m biased, but I love hearing @KamalaHarris talk about the South and the extreme abortion bans GOP state legislatures across the South enacted after Donald Trump’s Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. ⬇️ we’re taking back our rights in November. #ncpol
In the lyrics of the late Sister Tina Turner…. @KamalaHarris’ debate performance was “Simply the Best”…. 1 of my fav to Trump “… a dictator who will eat you for lunch…” #wwbw

From Fannie Lou Hamer to Minyon Moore. From when a Black woman couldn’t get in the convention to a Black woman is about to be the head of the party, the national party nominee … and so much more. #WinWithBlackWomen
