November 2025: Featuring Rep. Phil Rubin
November Recap: Real Talk, Real Wins, and What’s Next
Thanks to everyone who came out for our November Wake Democratic Forum—it was great to be together again as Democrats, celebrating our hard-won victories and staying clear-eyed about what’s still at stake.
We had a full hour of thoughtful, engaging conversation with Representative Phil Rubin, and we’re grateful to him for showing up and really leaning into the discussion. There were lots of good questions and the kind of energy we always hope for at the Forum.
As always, we’ve uploaded the slides and, at the request of some of our members, below includes the direct links to all the articles and resources we talked about:
As a reminder, we’re off in December, but we’ll be back in January with another strong Forum—check back soon for updates, and we’ll also send details by email as we always do!
Thanks again for staying engaged, and for being part of this community. We’ve got work to do, and we’re glad to be doing it with you!
