Thank you Chatham County (NC) Democratic Party for organizing a great event and Holly Trinity church in Siler City for hosting.

“This morning I went to Chatham Dems Candi-Dating event…not everyone who was there has a challenger in the primary, but boy did the ones who showed up give us something to think about…

I just learned about Lynn Gaines last night, and even with the endorsements he’s already garnered, [I] was feeling skeptical… Gaines kind of blew me away with his presentation…Gains spoke from the heart and not with a preprogrammed speech. He made me feel like someone I could just talk to.“

Thank you, Tom for the good words. I truly enjoyed getting right out to knock on doors after the event and meet all the good neighbors of Holy Trinity Church last Saturday! - Lynn.

We voted today!

There’s nothing like that feeling of walking into the polls, casting your ballot, and knowing your voice matters. My wife Sue of 48 years and I enjoy going to the polls together, it’s something special we’ve shared for decades. I served the Town of Goldston for 16 years, and it’s always humbling to see my name on a ballot.

You can vote now through February 28th at any early voting location — don’t wait, get out there and make it count!
