I see the relentless NC GOP thirst for power at any cost in everything they do. For years their radical gerrymandering has denied representation to Winston-Salem residents by sticking us with that senile fascist Virginia Foxx. If all North Carolinians knew the truth I believe they would stop supporting these greedy power mad tools that are the NC GOP in spite of the gerrymandering.

I hope every Western NC citizen, who suffered catastrophic losses during “Helene” and waits for relief from the government, and who voted Republican (MAGA) in November, comes to realize that NO HELP will be forth coming since the Republican led state legislature voted NO. Elections have consequences.
