This Tax Day… remember who is making things worse.

Republicans fighting to protect your hard-earned paychecks.

Congressman Don Davis, CD 1, and all his fellow Democrats voted for the largest tax hike since World War II.

Congressman Don Davis and all his fellow Democrats sided with Bernie & AOC to vote against critical tax relief for you.

Higher costs. Less freedom. More pressure on you.
Congressman Don Davis and his fellow Democrats voted to make your life harder.

We have the opportunity to win CD 1, for the first time in over 143 years, with Col. Laurie Buckhout.

Please watch the RNCC Video on Don "The TAX KING" Davis and his favorite two people.

This Tax Day… don't forget.

I will never ask you to purchase gift cards or provide financial information via email.

I have spoken with our Sheriff regarding this matter. If you have received one of these emails and have any concerns, please contact the McDowell County Sheriff’s Department directly.

If you receive any message claiming to be from me that asks for gift cards, money, or urgent financial assistance, please delete it immediately and do not respond.

Our official communications will only come from our verified McDowell County Republican Party email account, [email protected].

Thank you for your vigilance and for helping protect our community from scams.

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us directly through our official channels.
