Deranged cyberstalker threatened gay Democrat for years. Now he could go away for decades. - LGBTQ Nation Investigators said the messages were extreme enough to put the elected official in reasonable fear of death and serious bodily injury.

Today I traveled to Wilmington, North Carolina to deliver a victim impact statement in the case against an individual who has stalked, harassed, and threatened me and many others in our community for several years.

I got LASIK recently. I’m wearing glasses in my campaign pics. No one recognizes me at the polls. Growing up I never understood how folks were fooled by Clark Kent’s disguise. I get it now? Anyway, I bought some fake glasses and will be wearing them the rest of the election. πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™‚οΈ

Renee Good and Alex Pretti should be alive today. Federal immigration enforcement tactics have turned deadly and are tearing at the fabric of our country. This violence must stop.
