Voice For Refuge Endorses Candidates in North Carolina

New York City — Today, Voice for Refuge Action Fund released its endorsements for the upcoming general elections. We are proud to endorse Cheri Beasley for US Senate. We are also pleased to announce endorsements for Senator Jay Chaudhuri for State Senate District 15, Dr. Ya Liu for State House District 21, and Ricky Hurtado for State House District 63.

“North Carolina is a state that is vibrant and home to refugees and New Americans. These candidates are committed to ensuring that their communities have a voice in the halls of power in North Carolina,” said Mary Elizabeth Margolis, Voice for Refuge’s Acting Managing Director.

This is Voice for Refuge’s third round of endorsements in the 2022 elections, and the third time the 501c(4) organization has endorsed candidates for election. Voice for Refuge Action Fund specifically aims to endorse candidates based upon their stance on refugee issues. See all of our endorsements at www.voiceforrefuge.org/endorsements

Candidates were endorsed based on their answers to questions about their support for refugee resettlement, their work on welcoming refugees and immigrants in their community, and their understanding of policies specific to their potential role as a Federal, State, or Local representative. An individual’s public statements and any applicable past actions were also assessed.

The election is November 8th this year. Early voting/mail in North Carolina starts October 20th.
