43.6 % -- A Grassroots Victory

Statement

Thank you!!

Thank you so much for being with me every step of the way.

With a majority of the vote, we're the Democratic Nominee and on a path to victory in November!

I have so many people to thank for this very special victory: all of our grassroots supporters who came out to help in the final push; the other Democrats who added to our spirited contest; and my family -- for whom I first got in this race.

I have been truly humbled by the outpouring of support from you and others from across our district. Together, we did what they said couldn't be done and we got a majority of the primary vote!

I want to go to Congress to be a voice for the working families of the 12th District -- and I'll be working every single day from now until November 4th to make sure that all we've accomplished thus far does not go to waste.

This race has been an excellent example of what's so great about America -- that we can all throw our hats into the race and have civil conversations and debates about the best way to move North Carolina and the nation forward.

I can't promise that, in our general election, the Republicans will hold the same standard. But no matter the attacks they throw or SuperPAC money they air-drop into North Carolina, you can be sure that I will never be afraid to stand up and do what's right for the people of our District.

We've got this. We can do this.

Thank you for absolutely everything.

On to November.

- Alma
