Braxton Winston’s political journey has been nothing short of remarkable, catapulted by an iconic photo during the 2016 Keith Lamont Scott shooting protests that captured the attention of the world. Now, as he vies for the North Carolina commissioner of labor seat, Winston faces the challenge of sustaining his charmed run on a shoestring budget.
As the leading Democratic candidate for labor commissioner, Winston’s campaign finances pale in comparison to his counterparts in other Council of State races. With only $4,800 to $20,000 in his campaign account, Winston acknowledges the difficulty of raising funds in a state as vast as North Carolina.
During his tenure on the Charlotte City Council, Winston has been a vocal advocate for progressive policies, challenging the status quo and pushing for transparency in government. His stance on issues such as housing, worker rights, and police accountability has set him apart as a fierce advocate for change.
Despite his progressive record and grassroots support, Winston faces formidable opponents in the race for labor commissioner, including a well-funded Republican incumbent. With limited financial resources, Winston’s campaign relies on strategic spending and grassroots organizing to amplify his message across North Carolina.
As Braxton Winston navigates the challenges of running a campaign on a limited budget, his determination and commitment to advocating for workers’ rights remain unwavering. With the November general election on the horizon, Winston continues to defy the odds and make his mark on North Carolina politics.
