Informed Progressive
February
On Wednesday, February 12, Moe Davis, candidate for Congressional District 11 spoke on his background and his campaign platform. He indicated that he has been endorsed by the AFL-CIO Western North Carolina Central Labor Council, the Sierra Club, Equality NC, Laurence Tribe (Harvard Law Professor and expert on constitutional law who taught President Barack Obama and Chief Justice John Roberts), and Chris Lu, Deputy Secretary of Labor under President Obama Committee. Moe was born and raised in Shelby, NC, and left the state for a career in the Air Force. He and his wife, Lisa, bought property in Asheville several years ago so that that could retire in the area.
Moe stated that he supports a single-payer plan anticipating that the private healthcare system will collapse as more individuals buy in to the single payer plan. He feels that student loans should be transferred to the Department of Education and the loan rate will be capped at zero percent interest. He supports mandatory universal background checks and red flag laws as well as a $15 living wage and a woman’s right to make reproductive choices.
