Charlotte, NC, 15Jun2018- 2016 North Carolina 9th Congressional District Democratic Nominee and former 2018 NC09 Democratic Candidate Christian Cano announced his endorsement of Mr. Jeff Scott (L) for our November 06, 2018 Congressional midterm election yesterday. Christian and Jeff will attend this Saturday’s NORML Charlotte monthly meeting to shake hands and confirm this endorsement that puts our Country Over Party.
“I know that Jeff Scott will fight for my family and all our families equally in Congress. More importantly, he is not beholden to the corporate deep pockets in Nancy Pelosi’s political machine, President 45’s hatred and bigotry, or the privileged interests focused on preserving the status quo and the ways they benefit. And he is the only one of our three (3) NC09 Nominee choices in November who is not or was not involved in political collusion or corruption during their campaign efforts. As a Progressive and person of faith, major party collusion and corruption is a non-negotiable issue for my family and many of our families.
“Jeff has the much-needed skill set, diverse life experiences, and temperament to hold public office and has shown the Courage, Character, and Judgement to stand-up for the real-world issues facing our rich culturally diverse working-class neighbors. He favors ending the federal prohibition of cannabis, ensuring LGBTQ protections and women’s reproductive justice, protecting Dreamers, as well as ending corporate welfare and costly wars. Or in plain speak, Jeff Scott has shown us Where He Stands!
“Although Jeff and I don’t see eye to eye on all the platforms and positions that we campaigned on in 2016 and 2018, like Medicare For All, Gun Reform Now, and Climate Justice- those issues are already dead in the water until 2020 with our other two (2) Nominees (Mark Harris ad Dan McCready)… So, it should be no surprise to anyone that I would hold true to my campaign pledge to only support those who support our families on the non-negotiable issues that I laid out previously and consistently in our Democratic 2016 and 2018 NC09 campaign efforts.
“Let me be clear. Our endorsement of Jeff Scott does not and will not alter our complete dedication and support for flipping our North Carolina General Assembly in our Blue Wave 2018 with NCDP Nominees. That is where we can still make a tremendous impact on the daily lives of our NC 9th Congressional District family, friends, and neighbors.” shared Democrat Christian Cano.
