I'm a worker with policy experience running to be NC's lead advocate for workers. In this election, the choice couldn’t be more clear. Who do you want to be the lead advocate for workers in North Carolina: a worker like you or your boss's attorney?

Hey @LukeFarleyNC, why did you delete all of your social media posts with @markrobinsonNC? 👀 I'm sure your donation to his campaign in December is being put to good use.

I am sending my most heartfelt thank you to the folks of NC who voted for me, to the labor unions and organizations that worked tirelessly on my behalf, to the business leaders who supported me, and to the workers who believed in me. While we didn’t come out on top, workers came

"We're not asking you to change the world this year. We need to change our own backyard." @abreezeclayton is right. Young people across the nation are ready to see people who represent them and their values in office.

Had an amazing day at the Charlotte Rally for @KamalaHarris! @HuntforNC, @NatashaMarcusNC, and I could feel the energy on stage. North Carolina is feeling some sort of way right now, y'all. 54 days.

My name is Braxton Winston, and I am running to be your next Commissioner of Labor. I believe in a South where workers have heat safety protections and return home from a hard day’s work healthy and alive. I believe in a North Carolina where businesses AND workers thrive. I

This is my dad, David Winston. In one month he will retire after a 40+ year career of pulling people out of fires with @FDNY. After serving as an officer in the @USMC, he had a full career in the @usairforce where he retired with the rank of Gunnery Sergeant - all of this while

I’m a card-carrying union member who has been clocking in and out for 20+ years. North Carolinians deserve someone leading the @NCDOL who knows the struggles everyday working families face, not someone who loans their own campaign $100,000.

It’s been over a week, and I am still recovering from the efforts of a 20-month-long campaign. While tying up some loose ends within the campaign, I have also returned to my job and picking up the kids from school! I’m also working on what’s next for me. 🧵

My opponent has gone on the record and said, "the minimum wage does more harm than good." I simply believe the opposite.

I am honored to announce that I am officially the Democratic Nominee for NC Commissioner of Labor. We will not be on the ballot in March since we do not have a primary opponent. So, we'll see ya on the campaign trail & then at the polls on November 5!

I would warn North Carolinians—be careful with anybody who’s running for office that says 'that’s not my job,' like Mr. Farley.
