Republican National Committee Co-Chair Lara Trump issued a warning after being tipped off about some questionable conduct from the Kamala Harris for President Campaign.
Trump posted a message on her Instagram page, warning parents to keep vigilant after the Harris campaign reportedly attempted to “recruit kids for her campaign.”
“Gross & desperate — the Harris campaign continues to try and use government resources as an additional campaign arm. They are now using taxpayer funded school platforms to recruit public school teachers to pressure students into volunteering for the campaign. Thankfully, the school board has shut this down and is investigating further, but be vigilant for the same tactics in schools across the country,” she wrote.

The email, written by Reed Breunig, appears to be an attempt to solicit students to work with the North Carolina Democratic Party in exchange for “volunteer hours and school credit.”
“My name is Reed Breunig and I am the Regional Organizer for the Kamala Harris for President Campaign here in Gaston County. I work directly with the North Carolina Coordinated campaign – working to get Democrats elected up and down the ballot through community organizing and outreach efforts. I’m reaching out because we have an exciting opportunity for your students to get involved with a local political campaign,” the message reads. “The North Carolina Democratic Party is looking for high school students interested in getting involved with the campaign and learning a bit more about local, state, and national politics.”
“The fellowship would be roughly 5-10 hours a week, and the fellows would work alongside the staff in terms of talking to voters, helping to run the office, and the day-to-day business of the campaign,” it continues. “Unfortunately, it won’t be paid, but we can sign off for volunteer hours and school credit. If you have any students who are interested, please have them reach out to me either through this email. I would love to discuss the campaign and the fellowship opportunity either in person or via Zoom.”
The Carolina Journal reported on the message in late August.
“G.S. 126-13 Article 5 states that no State employee subject to the North Carolina Human Resources Act or temporary State employee shall take any active part in managing a campaign, or campaign for political office or otherwise engage in political activity while on duty or within any period of time during which he is expected to perform services for which he receives compensation from the State,” they explained.
