 AND NOW A MESSAGE FROM JENNY MARSHAL, OUR COUNTY PARTY CHAIR:

Monthly News & Updates - September 2024

Hello from the Chair,

VOTE NO! An amendment is on our ballots this year that we all must make a stand against.

The amendment is as follows: "Constitutional amendment to provide that only a citizen of the United States who is 18 years of age and otherwise possessing the qualifications for voting shall be entitled to vote at any election in this State." It is a vaguely written amendment in search of a problem. Federal and state law already lay out who can vote. The "otherwise possessing the qualifications" for voting gives me poll tax, suffragette chills. We know the GOP wants to push us back to the dark ages. We will not go back! Vote no and pass on the word.

Best,

Jenny

P.S. Look for more newsletters to come out as the election ramps up!

 All registered voters in North Carolina can vote by absentee ballot. However, the requirements and process have changed since the last election. For more information, go to this Forsyth County Board of Election page:

North Carolina United States Senate election

 In the 2024 national election we will not be voting for a U.S. Senator in North Carolina. Sen. Thom Tillis's (R) Senate seat will be up for re-election in 2026, and Sen. Ted Budd's (R) Senate seat will be up for re-election in 2028.

2024 Democratic Candidate for North Carolina Governor

 Josh Stein has done a terrific job as Attorney General of North Carolina in Gov. Roy Cooper's administration. Gov. Cooper is term-limited and therefore cannot run again, but in August, 2023  endorsed Attorney General Stein to be the next Governor of North Carolina.

Democratic Party President and Vice-President Ticket for 2024

We salute the courageous decision by President Joe Biden to withdraw from the 2024 election, putting the country above his own personal wishes. Earlier this week Vice-president Kamala Harris became the official Democratic nominee and selected Gov. Tim Walz of Minnesota as her running mate.
