You know, North Carolinians work hard, and they shouldn't need a lobbyist to unlock the American dream. That should be the job of the people they elect to represent them. And North Carolinians, I accept your job offer. Tonight, guys, we told Washington loud and clear that North Carolinians will always matter more than the billionaires and the insiders. Tonight we show the country that when everyday people come together we can make change. Tonight we let everyone know that we are just getting started.
