'"Vote for Shelia - Experience, Leadership, Innovation for a Better Durham"'
I believe we need more than just living wages, not just good jobs but career-developing jobs, and quality future-oriented job training programs that provide a pathway to building generational wealth. Along with supporting our educational partners, we have to focus on our local economy, because without it our residents can't buy food, can't pay for housing, and can't supply their families with other basic needs like health care and transportation. I fully support our local business owners, who are working hard to contribute to our local economy, and I plan to work closely with our job training partners so that our residents are prepared for the future. When we provide a pathway to jobs, we also provide a pathway to housing. I've created a plan called The 60th. It's a process that we can use to better connect jobs to housing for our residents.

What makes a candidate Good Party Certified?

We're not a political party, but are seeking to replace the corrupt and ineffective two-party system with people-powered, independent candidates. Candidates earn the Good Party Certified label when they take our pledge, in which candidates agree to not run as Republicans or Democrats, raise a majority of their funding from real people instead of corporate lobbyists, and propose real solutions in the interest of their communities, not hate or partisanship.

We believe candidates who check these boxes put all levels of government on track by rejecting dark money influences and putting power back in the hands of the people.

Why North Carolina?

Good Party is focused on helping candidates in North Carolina because it is one of the most independent states in the country. 36% of voters in the state identify with neither major political party, and 46% of those voters are under the age of 40. This means that the fastest-growing voting population of the state is young voters without representation! It also makes North Carolina an important proving ground for our movement to elect new options other than Red and Blue.
