A great time this morning at the Back the Blue Wake event in Apex! We had a great turnout, all in support of our incredible men and women of law enforcement. Special thanks to Sheriff Donnie Harrison for speaking, and to Crystal and the entire Back the Blue Wake team for all that they did to make today such a success.

After our event, we donated lunch to local Apex police officers and fire fighters.
​
Each and every day, we’re thankful for the heroic actions of our law enforcement officers. Today’s gathering was a small token of our appreciation for all that they do. #backtheblue! #WakeStrong!

Last night, #TeamSwain hosted a Town Hall on our District Courts. Alan was joined by Judge Dan Nagle, Candidate Beth Tanner, and Wake County Commissioner Candidate Steve Hale. You can watch their discussion here.

This week, Alan sat down with Steve Hale, candidate for Wake County Commissioner and former law enforcement officer, and Sherrif Donnie Harrison to continue their discussion on the current state of public safety here in our district. Watch their conversation below.

​This week, #TeamSwain put out over 800 flags alongside neighbors and friends as we pause to reflect on the historic start to our nation’s Founding. As those famous words were written in the Declaration of Independence, “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”
 
This special weekend, we come together to rededicate ourselves to carrying out the vision that our Founding Fathers crafted. We celebrate our shared values, freedoms, and customs, and above all else, we honor what brings us together as one United States of America.
 
I wish you and your families a safe and fun holiday weekend. May God Bless America.

Today, I was glad to help set up and serve at the Latinos For Freedom's 'Back the Blue' lunch for First Responders in downtown Raleigh alongside several Wake County candidates. 

Alan wishes a happy Father's Day to all of our #WakeStrong fathers! On this day each year, Alan takes time to reflect on the time I spent with his dad; here's one of his father's stories of bravery.
