Dr. Lyerly’s campaign has generated grassroots support and engagement previously not seen in this district, surpassing over 10,000 individual contributions to the campaign since its launch just three weeks ago, and receiving acknowledgement from former GOP Congressman Reid Ribble, who said that a Democrat could win the district (link here).
