Campaign postcards with a grassland and blackbird singing “Be a Voter!” are spread across a table. A handwritten note encourages voters to re-elect Dante Pittman to the North Carolina House, citing good jobs, lower costs, and strong schools, and includes information about early voting and Election Day.Multiple “Be a Voter!” postcards featuring birds and sunflower imagery are arranged on a wooden table. The sunflowers are from South Dakota!
