NC VALUES ENDORSES MARK HARRIS FOR CONGRESS
NC Values Coalition launched its first endorsements today for the 2024 election, including an endorsement for Mark Harris running in North Carolina’s Congressional District 8.
“Through the years, Mark has stood by NC Values and North Carolina Christian families by consistently advocating for conservative values in the public square. We need more Christian conservatives in Congress who will stand strong against the radical leftist culture and anti-American policies in DC,” said NC Values Executive Director Tami Fitzgerald. “We know Mark will vote to protect the unborn, parental rights, and for enforcement of our immigration laws. Mark will lead with both humility and strength, and we are proud to endorse him for Congress.”
NC Values’ main focus before early voting is competitive primary races and will continue to release endorsements during the 2024 election season including General Assembly, federal, statewide and school board races. NC Values does not endorse in every race.

NC VALUES COALITION RESPONDS TO LAWSUIT WHICH ENDANGERS HEALTH OF GENDER CONFUSED MINORS
NC Values Coalition Executive Director Tami Fitzgerald responded today to a lawsuit filed by organizations from DC, California and New York regarding the attempt to overturn the will of NC voters and endanger gender confused youth:
“This legal challenge is based both on outdated research and faulty constitutional arguments and constitutes an attack on the people of North Carolina who have passed a law protecting children from mutilation of their bodies and a lifetime of medical and mental problems.
“The plaintiffs ignore the growing body of evidence showing that these treatments are, in fact, experimental which is why numerous countries in Europe—Sweden, England, Finland, Norway, France—have either banned or severely restricted these treatments for minors. The benefits do not outweigh the risks to bone development, brain development or higher rates of suicide as compared to non-transitioned individuals; what’s more, 80-90% of children who question their gender, if left alone, will resolve their confusion in favor of their sex by the time they are adults. HB 808 provides children with the opportunity to grow up before making life-altering, permanent medical decisions which will medicalize them for life.
“To date, on three occasions, thus far, the Circuit Courts in the 6th Circuit and the 11th Circuit have refused to find that similar laws are a violation of the 14th Amendment or the Affordable Care Act.”

NC VALUES RESPONDS TO NEW REPORT SHOWING ABORTIONS ARE DOWN AFTER NEW PRO-LIFE LAW
NC Values Coalition Executive Director Tami Fitzgerald responded to new report from Guttmacher Institute showing abortions are down 30% in the state since SB 20 took effect:
“It is great news that the lives of more innocent unborn children are being saved and that the new law appears to be working to keep North Carolina from being a destination for abortion. With increased resources for pregnant women provided by the Care for Women, Children, and Families Act and increased funding to Pregnancy Care Centers, women have more support than ever and a safety-net of care to help them choose life. After Dobbs, abortions in North Carolina were up 37%, so while 30% is an encouraging number, we still need to reduce abortions in North Carolina, as 90% of abortions are done before the twelfth week. North Carolina needs to continue saving the lives of even more unborn babies, while supporting and caring for their mothers.”
