Just want to say that I am very encouraged that the state Dem Party leadership has been changed. The old guard failed MISERABLY in the 2022 election. I'm still steamed about it.
First off, Cheri Beasley was a great candidate, but she was almost invisible until months after Budd's campaign had been flooding the TV airwaves with attack ads depicting her as a caricature. They used the most unflattering frames of her, making her look horrible, as well as twisting her words and making awful allegations that were ludicrous, but yet no response from the party. Wtf? I know not everyone watches TV these days, but a lot of people do, and the way Judge Beasley's campaign was run was just plain stupid.
I am a 62yo white woman farmer (retired Healthcare worker,) who lives in rural Granville County, and I think NC is ready for black female candidates! I am so sick of white men dictating what I can do with my body, all the while screaming that their gun rights are being infringed upon when anyone even whispers a word about gun regulations. This country is overrun with guns, and too many people who have no emotional maturity or morals have access to them. If we have laws requiring training, testing, and licensing to drive motor vehicles, which are engineered NOT to kill people, then we need AT LEAST the same for guns. Guns are engineered to KILL and maim.
Anyway, I unfortunately am very cash-poor, so can't donate anything, but want let you know that I am glad that we have fresh blood in the Democratic party. Make the most of it!
