7. Here's a thought---Be a part of the solution!

I am also in District 11 and our county has Democrats on all but the two District 30 Court Judge seats.

Democrats need to run for school board, sheriff, county commissioner, register of deeds, etc. As they say---All Politics is Local!

Get active with your County Democratic Party and help them recruit candidates for 2024. Identify the people who attend county commissioner or city meetings who stand up to speak. See who writes letters to the editor and ask them to get involved. When Democrats run you need to support them with your time and money if you can.

I understand the "losing" aspect---in some of the surrounding counties I know elected officials who are Democrat leaning but run as independents just so they can get elected. Maybe that's what we need to do in some counties in Western NC.

Thanks for voting! The early vote numbers look great and the comments I'm hearing on the ground are heartening.
