TUESDAY TWEET — TODAY IS NORTH CAROLINA\u2019S NINTH CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT SPECIAL ELECTION:<\/strong> Equality Voters have a clear choice: HRC-endorsed Dan McCready<\/a>. There is a clear distinction between McCready and his opponent, Dan Bishop–the chief architect of anti-transgender HB2<\/a>. Bishop has a long-standing record of discriminatory animus — from leading the fight to put voter ID on the ballot to his investment in a social media forum for white supremacists, neo-Nazis and far-right extremists. At every opportunity, Bishop has shown that he is aligned with the Trump-Pence administration. More from HRC<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n
