In response to Richard Ojeda’s election to the U.S. House of Representatives, DNC Chair Ken Martin released the following statement:
“Congratulations to Richard Ojeda, the North Carolina Democratic Party, and every organizer who helped flip this seat from red to blue. As a combat veteran, state legislator, and educator, Richard has always put the needs of working families first and fought to improve their lives. In Congress, he will be the champion North Carolinians deserve by delivering for veterans, bringing down costs, expanding access to healthcare, investing in public education, and creating good-paying jobs.”
