2026 is about TURNOUT!
Republicans have gerrymandered our state and our district. County representatives are trying to eliminate adequate representation. The GOP has invested millions in electing highly partisan judges.
NONE of this is right! NONE of their actions protects the people! NONE of this is DEMOCRATIC!
Bladen County must deliver:
2,243 "base" votes:
The base includes those of us who are die-hard Democrats and vote in every election. You may be one of them. If so, help us get to the other groups!
1,178 "midterm skippers":
These are our friends and neighbors who skip voting when they're not voting for a President. YOU have to help find them. These are your relatives, neighbors, friends, etc. Convince them to VOTE!
2,421 "tough" votes:
Talk to your sons, daughters, grandchildren, sisters, brothers.... if they think their votes don't count, make sure they know that in this election, their votes are critical! Get them to the polls!
1,054 "swingers":
These folks will vote. We need to make the case for them to vote for Democrats!
606 registered Bladen Democrats have not voted in the last two elections.
We have to find them... and drag them to the polls!
Who is on the 2026 Ballot?
Why YOUR VOTE Matters!
County Board of Education elections matter because school board members make decisions that affect nearly every family and taxpayer in the community. They set policies, oversee budgets, hire and evaluate the superintendent, and help determine the quality of education local students receive.
Strong school board members can help attract families and businesses, support teachers, improve student outcomes, and ensure tax dollars are spent responsibly. In many rural counties, public schools are among the largest employers and most important community institutions, so the people serving on the school board have a direct impact on the county's future.

Why YOUR VOTE Matters!
Your county sheriff has a direct impact on the safety, fairness, and quality of life in your community. The sheriff sets priorities for law enforcement, manages the county jail, works with emergency responders, and helps build trust between deputies and residents. By voting for sheriff, you help choose a leader who will protect public safety, uphold the law fairly, use taxpayer dollars responsibly, and serve everyone in the community with integrity.
County Commissioner:
District 01: Arthur A Bullock
Why YOUR VOTE Matters!
County Commissioners make decisions that affect your daily life, from property taxes and local budgets to roads, emergency services, economic development, parks, and public health. They determine how your tax dollars are spent and set priorities that shape the future of your community.

NC Supreme Court:
Why YOUR VOTE Matters!
Appeals Court judges and State Supreme Court justices make decisions that shape how laws are interpreted and applied throughout the state. Their rulings can affect issues such as public safety, education, property rights, elections, consumer protections, and individual constitutional rights. Because these courts often have the final word on important legal questions under state law, their decisions can influence the lives of individuals, families, businesses, and communities for years to come, even if most people never appear in court themselves.
United States Congress
US House of Representatives, District 07: Dr. Kimberly Hardy
US Senate: Governor Roy Cooper
Why YOUR VOTE Matters!
Your U.S. House of Representatives makes decisions that directly affect your daily life—from healthcare and education to taxes, jobs, clean water, and Social Security. Your vote helps determine who will speak for your community and whether they will fight for working families or powerful special interests. A vote for Dr. Kimberly Hardy is a vote for millionaires and billionaires paying their fair share to the country that made them; a vote for policies that lower costs for everyday Americans; a vote for reinstating dollars for Medicaid; and a vote for the people of our district as opposed to the big corporations.
