Anti-choice groups already are pushing for a nationwide abortion ban. Republicans can't make it happen now, but they can if they regain power in Washington. So, every congressional race and the next presidential election are a referendum on a woman's right to choose.
If the national effort fails and individual states determine reproductive rights then NC is at risk if Republicans win enough seats to gain a supermajority to override the Governor's veto. Electing Democrats to the General Assembly in November is critical. Head's UpPrimary Election- Head's Up

While Spring officially starts on March 20th, you could have fooled our Democrat friends who took a little walk on a beautiful afternoon in Tryon on March 17th. Our 2 county commissioner candidates, Ray Gasperson and Andy Millard were there. And for those of you who don't know Stephanie Justice- she is in the front row on the left. Stephanie is the Democratic candidate for NC Senate-District 48. Their elections will be in November during the general election. Come meet them at our County Convention on March 26th.
Polk Dems Building a Stronger Community
Local Democrats Deliver Meals On Wheels
When our local Meals-On-Wheels program put out the call for volunteers, the Polk County Democrats formed a team to help. Under the coordination of Robbie ter Kuile, 12 members are delivering hot meals to our seniors in the Columbus area every Wednesday, plus other days as needed. Ms. ter Kuile has been helping our community for years, and commented on her Meals-On-Wheels experience:
"As a driver for Meals-On-Wheels, we don't just deliver a hot meal, our visits also serve as a wellness check. One client asked that we enter her house through her garage door. She had difficulty walking and couldn’t easily come to the door. One winter day, I entered her garage and found her sitting on the step that led into her house. “What are you doing in the garage?” I asked. She told me that she’d fallen and couldn’t get up. So she crawled into the garage and waited for the Meals-On-Wheels volunteer to come and help her. As a driver for Meals on Wheels for almost nine years, I’ve received smiles, hugs and blessings. I’m grateful to be able to provide this needed service in Polk County."
Many thanks to Robbie, the volunteers and Gail Dyer at the Senior Center for helping our neighbors! Anyone interested in helping deliver meals, please call (828) 894-0001 to volunteer.
