The North Carolina Republican Party (NCGOP) commends the ongoing efforts by the North Carolina State Board of Elections (NCSBE) to maintain accurate and up-to-date voter rolls. Today, the NCSBE announced that 34,000 deceased voters were identified through comprehensive data comparison with the federal Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) database.
NCGOP Chairman Jason Simmons said of theannouncement:
"Today's announcement makes clear the State Board is taking concerns about election integrity seriously. When concerns over deceased voters have been made previously, they were promptly ignored when partisan Democrats controlled the Board. It is refreshing to see Director Hayes and the Board's current leadership take a proactive approach to confirm only North Carolina citizens can vote in North Carolina elections."

Today, Democratic Governors Association spokesperson Kevin Donohoe released the following statement on today's Republican gubernatorial debate in Georgia hosted by the Atlanta Press Club:
"We've never been more optimistic about winning the Georgia governor's race. This debate was a disaster for Republicans. Burt Jones and Rick Jackson both accused each other of breaking the law and enriching themselves off of taxpayermoney. When they weren't fighting each other, they were sucking up to Donald Trump and talking about how they would take away reproductive health care. Whether it's Jones or Jackson, they're both self-serving out-of-touch rich guys who Georgians can't trust to be their next governor. Game on."

*
New reporting highlights how MAGA Republican Jay Feely is openly embracing Trump's cost-spiking agenda - even as the President's approval ratings continue to take a nosedive.
In an interview with AZ Family, Feely brushed off sky-high gas prices and Trump's price-spiking tariffs that are crushing Arizona small businesses and cost the average family an extra $1,000 lastyear.
Feely even "praised the administration's aggressive enforcement tactics" that led to the shooting deaths of two U.S. citizens earlier this year and doubled down when pressed about the killings.
REMINDER : Arizona's First Congressional District is far from a MAGA stronghold. The district "has historically preferred more moderate political figures" and is "brimming with the moderate Republicans... [with a] disdain for Mr. Trump."
Read about Feely's disastrous agenda for yourself...
Arizona's Family: Former Cardinals kicker Jay Feely talks amid run for competitive Arizona congressional seat
* Despite President Trump's declining polling numbers, Feely is in lockstep with Trump on the unpopular war with Iran, his handling of the economy and immigration.
* During an interview, Feely said voters need to trust Trump and that the president is playing the long game. He said the war, the high price for gas and the added costs of his tariffs will all be worth it in the end.
* Feely praised the administration's aggressive enforcement tactics. The roundups led to the shooting deaths of two U.S. citizens in Minneapolis at the start of the year.
* Feely said Trump is doing what former President Barack Obama did and that Obama's record is even worse. "There were 60 under President Obama. Go ahead and look it up," Feely said. When asked if they were shot and killed, Feely said, "That's right, killed under President Obama."
* Campaign claim does not check out : Feely's campaign sent a link to a 2016 report, "Fatal Neglect," to back up the claim. The report looked at migrant deaths in federal custody. It found 56 detainees died in ICE custody but no American citizens were shot and killed by ICE agents.

"Since day one of the Republican scheme to rig the midterms, the public has repeatedly demonstrated that they hate it when politicians try to choose their voters, subverting the will of the people. It's clear Republicans haven't learned a thing, choosingto move forward with a corrupt partisan power grab that violates Florida's strict prohibition of partisan gerrymanders.
"Republicans are doing this because they know they have lost the support of the American people, and with it, the midterms.
"We've said it before, and it bears repeating: Republicans should be careful what they wish for. Make no mistake, the DCCC is on offense with four Florida seats already on our Districts in Play, and we anticipate this blatantly illegal map will be struck down by the courts."

In response to news that Eric Conroy was added to the NRCC's "MAGA Majority," DCCC spokesperson Riya Vashi released the following statement:
"Eric Conroy is a MAGA extremist, wealthy phony, and carpetbagger who's wildly out of touch with Ohio's First Congressional District. The NRCC's stamp of approval just confirms Conroy will put party bosses and Donald Trump ahead of Southwest Ohio. Instead of standing upfor working families, Conroy is signing up to be a rubber stamp for the same extreme agenda that's raising costs, threatening health care, and putting billionaires first. Southwest Ohioans see Conroy for the fraud that he is and will reject him this November."
REMINDER: Just last week, Conroy was exposed for telling voters that he "wasn't born into privilege or connections" and doesn't "have a lot of money" when his own federal financial disclosures reveal he's sitting on up to nearly a million dollars and a super PAC funded by his own father.

WASHINGTON, April 27 -- The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee posted the following news release:

BREAKING: Jim Desmond Joins NRCC's Unpopular "MAGA Majority" in CA-48
In response to news that Jim Desmond was added to the NRCC's "MAGA Majority," DCCC spokesperson Anna Elsasser released the following statement:
"The NRCC agrees Jim Desmond is a MAGA extremist - full stop. After posing as a 'common sense' moderate, Desmond wasted no time flipping to embrace Donald Trump and Republicans' MAGA agenda. It's all the proof voters need: Desmond will say anything to get elected - thenfall in line with his party bosses to raise costs, push reckless tariffs, and gut health care for working families. Desmond isn't running to stand up for Southern California - he's running to be a rubberstamp for the most extreme voices in his party."
REMINDER: Jim Desmond's carefully crafted "moderate" image collapsed immediately. The moment Donald Trump and the MAGA Republican caucus offered their "complete and total endorsement," Desmond didn't hesitate to fully embrace it.
And he's been proving it ever since:
1. When given the chance to protect Southern Californians from the impact of the GOP's Big, Ugly Bill, Desmond voted against using county reserve funds to stop service cuts and voted against a plan to respond to federal cuts to Medi-Cal and CalFresh - dismissing the impact of his constituents having less food on their tables.
2. Desmond refused to "[shy] away from his support for Trump" and endorsed "Trump's more controversial efforts -including ending birthright citizenship."
3. As gas prices in California skyrocket to nearly $6 per gallon, Jim Desmond dismissed the financial burden on working families, calling it " no pain, no gain," and saying " President Trump is right."
4. Desmond voted against his own housing proposal to avoid acknowledging that Trump's tariffs and economic agenda are crushing Southern California families.
5. As the president escalates his costly war in Iran - now draining $1 billion a day from American taxpayers - Desmond admitted " I support " it.
6. Desmond then tried to wave away rising gas prices altogether, saying they'll just "go away once...this Iran issue, you know, goes away," yet acknowledged it's "bloody murder when the president's actions...[cause] the gas prices to go up."
