COMMON QUESTIONS

Why support our campaign?

Voting isn’t just about picking a name. It’s about choosing someone who will fight for you, listen to your story, and stand up for what matters in North Carolina. Here’s why Richard Ojeda is the clear choice for NC-09 and the people who call it home.

We represent the people, not the powerful.

This campaign doesn’t take a dime from corporate PACs or lobbyists. Our strength comes from small-dollar donations and grassroots support, proving that when everyday people chip in, we can take on Washington.

We listen before we speak.

This campaign is built on conversations, not backroom deals. Richard listens to veterans, teachers, farmers, and families, shaping his platform from the real stories and struggles of North Carolinians.

We show up in every corner of NC-09.

Richard isn’t hiding in offices or talking to insiders. He’s on the road, putting boots on the ground, at fish fries, car shows, union halls, and community meetings, listening to concerns and standing shoulder to shoulder with neighbors.

We fight for those left behind.

Too many families feel ignored by politicians. Richard is committed to lifting up the voices of rural towns, veterans in need, overworked teachers, and workers pushed aside by corporate greed.

We believe change starts in our community.

Real change doesn’t come from Washington. It comes from neighbors talking to neighbors, volunteers knocking doors, and communities standing together. That’s the movement Richard is building across NC-09.
