The entire campaign team is still evacuated. Dr. Horton's home is in one of the areas that was hit hardest, Carolina Beach, and obviously everybody's focus right now is on staying safe, helping neighbors, and weathering the storm. It's no time for politics.

That said, the election is still on 11/6. And this administration has shown a cruel callousness to previous hurricane victims. I propose we pass the hat for
@drkyle4congress's campaign, who it is an honor to welcome as the 11th member of the Great Slate! https://secure.actblue.com/donate/great_slate …pic.twitter.com/ArWvJN9Iyc

If you've given a previous donation to the slate, you can hit 'reset form' at the bottom to make a donation just to Dr. Horton. I look forward to sharing her inspiring story once the worst of the storm is over, and wish her and everyone in the Carolinas well in the coming days.
