“Too Many People Feel the Deck Is Stacked Against Them,” – Candidate Batch

Wake County – Lawyer, social worker, and child welfare advocate Sydney Batch released the following statement announcing her candidacy for House District 37 in southern Wake County:

“I am honored today to announce that I am running to represent Wake County in the North Carolina House of Representatives. As a family law attorney and child welfare advocate, I fight every day for families across Wake County who are worried about their future. Whether stressed about sending their kids to a good public school, paying back their student loans, or affording quality health care and finding a good, well-paying job, too many people feel the deck is stacked against them.”

“Despite these struggles, I also get to see the many common values that bind us. People want affordable, accessible health care, quality and affordable education, safe air to breathe, clean water to drink, and a fair paycheck. Most of all, they want their children to live a more prosperous life than they have.”

“I’m running because I want to make a difference for those people who feel stressed, and to work with them through our common shared values to make a better Wake county. There’s no doubt that the challenges facing us are great. However, so is our will. I humbly ask for your support.”
