ANNOUNCEMENT: Down Home N.C. members endorse these candidates for North Carolina Court of Appeals:
John S. Arrowood
Christine Walczky
Toby Hampson

The Court of Appeals shapes North Carolina’s laws and its work is essential to maintaining a fair and balanced statewide judicial system.

Co-governance is an action. The work does not stop with an endorsement and will not stop with re-election. We plan to hold all accountable to fairness and equity in their judgements.

"To Zeller, dissent isn’t just a rebuttal. It’s a refusal to accept the status quo of deregulation and systemic unraveling, threatening the mountains and the people he calls home and family."

As another hurricane season gets underway, we’re looking back at how neighbors all over NC have showed up for one another. Helene hit Western NC—and how folks looked out for one another. Families and volunteers didn't hesitate to step up and help rebuild. Around here, we do our part. We just need oOur leaders to do theirs, too.

Michael Whatley was tapped by Donald Trump to lead the recovery effort after Helene. Well, it’s been over a year now, and our communities are still waiting on that federal recovery funding folks were promised. Billions of dollars are being withheld, while everyday families, local schools, and small businesses are just keeping their heads down, doing the hard work of rebuilding day by day.
