LaKesha is ready to roll up her sleeves and work for ALL of the people in District 14--not just for one party, one administration, or a slew of corporations, PACs, and billionaires, like her opponent does. LaKesha is committed to bringing affordability and accountability back to NC and to the country as a whole.

The League of Women Voters of NC explains that "state law already requires identification for absentee voting and provides for voters who cannot reasonably provide ID. The proposed amendment would place the requirement that all voters present photo identification into the State Constitution without protecting those existing safeguards. The League is concerned that this could create additional barriers for military, student, rural, and older voters."

"Tax changes since 2013 shake out to an average cut of $56,000 in 2025 for the richest 1 percent of North Carolinians — a cut that is 130 times larger than what North Carolinians with the lowest incomes have received."

"Continued proposals to increase the standard deduction further will do little to help the lowest 40 percent of households in terms of income — those who struggle most with affordability."

The League of Women Voters of NC states that this amendment would "shift greater authority over local funding decisions to the state while leaving the actual limits, formulas and possible exceptions to future legislation. The League is concerned that restricting local property-tax revenue could affect funding for public education, elections and other local services and/or increase reliance on fees."
