Richard Chew is joined by Kimberly Hardy, candidate for Congress in the 7th District of North Carolina. 

The discussion centered on Hardy’s campaign, voter enthusiasm, and the importance of North Carolina’s state judicial elections. Here are a few key points from the conversation:
- Early voting begins in North Carolina on October 15, and Hardy described strong fundraising, frequent canvassing, rallies, yard signs, and a growing volunteer base.
- She reported unusually high engagement in traditionally Republican counties, including volunteers writing postcards and knocking doors.
- Young and college voters appear highly motivated by concerns about the future and the impact of midterm elections.
- Hardy, who also serves as second vice chair of the North Carolina Democratic Party, emphasized that state Supreme Court Justice Anita Earls’s retention campaign and other judicial races affect redistricting, education funding, and civil rights protections.
- She highlighted the need for voters to consider judicial and other down-ballot races.
