Overview

While Western North Carolinians face rising costs, and are still recovering from Hurricane Helene, Jennifer Balkcom has sold them out to enrich her corporate donors. 

SUMMARY

Three weeks before Election Day, voters in the Greenville-Spartanburg-Asheville media market should see ads on broadcast TV and cable, and voters districtwide, especially white women over the age 55, should see ads on YouTube, search engines, and streaming and receive mail about how: 

  • Balkcom is part of the same failed leadership that left Western North Carolina behind after Hurricane Helene. Nearly two years in, we’ve received barely 16% of the funding from the federal government needed to recover and $100 million in already-approved disaster funds sat frozen for months. Balkcom was put in charge of Helene recovery but her committee hasn’t held a public meeting in over a year to hear from storm survivors in the hardest-hit parts.
  • Balkcom has taken thousands of dollars from health insurance companies that have raised premiums and denied coverage North Carolinians need. And she voted repeatedly to raise health care costs on families, voting against bipartisan Medicaid expansion that now covers more than 730,000 North Carolinians. Balkcom even supports cuts to Medicaid that put rural hospitals at risk of closing and increase health care costs by thousands of dollars

Voters who need to turnout for Jamie who live in zip codes 28701, 28704, 28711, 28712, 28714, 28715, 28723, 28726, 28731, 28732, 28734, 28739, 28752, 28753, 28754, 28778, 28779, 28786, 28787, 28791, 28792, 28801, 28803, 28804, 28805, 28806 should hear at the doors that:

  • Jamie Ager is a husband, father of three, and a proud son of Western North Carolina. A fourth-generation farmer, he has spent his life working alongside the farmers of this region, and building community. Jamie is running for Congress because he believes every family deserves a good future–not a country where the rich get rich off the backs of hardworking Americans.
