CANDIDATES RALLY

Moore County Democrats are gearing up for an exciting election season. With a large slate of excellent candidates at all levels of government, Democrats will have a chance to cast their votes for real change and leadership. To showcase the many candidates running for office, the Moore County Democratic Party and the Democratic Women of Moore County have teamed up to host a “Meet the Candidates RALLY” on August 9 from 5-8 PM at the Pinecrest High School Cafeteria. At the Rally voters will have a chance to listen to and meet nine candidates, with representatives and/or literature about the other Democratic candidates also available.

Most notable of the candidates in attendance will be KAY HAGAN who is running for US Senate, the seat that has been held for many years by Republican Elizabeth Dole. During her five terms in the North Carolina Senate, Ms. Hagan has proven to be an effective leader who is not afraid to do the hard work to bridge partisan divides and always put people before politics. Ms. Hagan’s experience makes her the right candidate to represent us in Washington; a voice for the right kind of change, accountability, and an unwavering commitment to keep North Carolina strong and moving forward.

Also attending the Rally will be TERESA SUE BRATTON, Democratic nominee for the District 6 Congressional seat, running against the Republican incumbent Howard Coble. As a physician, Dr. Bratton is uniquely qualified to promote a healthy future for the citizens in North Carolina by working in the US Congress to improve access to health care, to address global warming and the high cost of fuel, to improving the education of our children, and to restoring America's faith in our political system.

For the first time this decade, Moore County has a Democrat running for NC House of Representatives in District 52. Native North Carolinian and Pinehurst resident, BETTY MANGUM will be at the Rally. Ms. Mangum’s experience includes 30 years as an educator, four years as a Wake County commissioner, and involvement and leadership in numerous community organizations. Betty is filled with energy, passion, and excitement for the job. She is genuinely concerned about the people of Moore County and doing what is best for us!

Candidates running for these offices will also be in attendance at the Rally: Beth Wood, State Auditor; Sam J. Ervin, IV, NC Court of Appeals; Judge Linda Stephens, NC Court of Appeals; Judge Cheri L. Beasley, NC Court of Appeals; Wayne Goodwin, Insurance Commissioner; Abraham Oudeh, NC Senate-District 22; Tony Berk, Moore County District Attorney.

A barbeque dinner with dessert & beverage will be served at the Rally. Tickets to this event are $10 pp and can be reserved by calling Democratic Headquarters at (910)947-1933 or Tonia Camina at 692-7866. We encourage everyone to come out and meet the candidates on August 9.
