Statement by NC AFL-CIO President MaryBe McMillan Welcoming VP Harris to Raleigh
(Raleigh, NC) – North Carolina’s labor movement warmly welcomes Vice President Kamala Harris to Raleigh today. The Harris-Walz ticket is powered by a worker-focused agenda, is backed by proven track records of fighting for union members and their families, and is ready to take on Donald Trump and his Project 2025 playbook in November.
Working families across our state are sick and tired of struggling to survive on wages that barely cover housing and necessities, while companies price-gouge us just to pad their profits so CEOs can cut themselves massive checks. The Harris-Walz campaign knows what working people need are policies that will lower their costs, protect their wallets from rampant corporate greed, and help them save more of their hard-earned dollars.
Vice President Harris and Governor Tim Walz are true champions for the issues working people care about most, and the North Carolina AFL-CIO is more ready than ever to deliver a victory for them at the ballot box this November.
