Good evening Facebook Democrats, thank you ALL for attending the monthly meeting tonight. And if you are a Hoke County Democrat and you missed this meeting, you missed a real treat.

Most of the local candidates running for office this election cycle were in the room. Our Chairman, Harry Southerland moved the meeting from the Hoke County Library to the Bobby Wright Agricultural Building to accommodate the growing party meeting attendees.

We had a great turn out tonight. Thirteen of our fifteen Precincts were well represented. Each Precinct was encouraged to plan and provide a community engagement activity prior to November 3rd.

The Blue Springs Precinct is planning a "Cookout, Yard Sale Fun Day for Saturday, September 26th at 164 McQuade Road; Raeford, NC. There will be FREE FOOD, FREE CLOTHES, Games and a Bouncy House for the kids as well as a Raffle for those of you who want to take a chance at winning something $.

Both Allendale and Antioch Precincts also have community engagement events in works. They will have more information available for our October meeting. These Hoke County Democratic Party community engagement events are free to the general public regardless of political affiliation. We want folks to come out, enjoy yourselves and meet your neighbors.

Well, we now have sixty-two days until the general election. Early voting starts October 15th through October 31st. We have two early voting sites, the County Commissioners Room in the Pratt Building and the Rockfish Community Building. So, let's make a plan to get out and vote during early voting. Don't go to the polls alone, take two or three people with you. Sample Ballots are available at the Hoke County Board of Elections Office. And 9th Congressional District; NC Statewide and Local Candidate Slate Cards are available by contacting party officials.

Finally, while the Hoke County Democratic Party didn't have a candidate to file for the Soil and Water Conservationist position during the filing period. We do have a "Write In Candidate". His name is James Torrence! Let's write his name on your ballot for that position as you vote!

Good afternoon our Facebook Family. The Hoke County Democratic Party (HCDP) Buchan Precinct held a very successful community engagement event today. Precinct Chair, Greg Powell and his team hosted a fun day for neighbors living in the Cameron Village, Ashley Heights, Pine Hill and Ashemont communities. The fun day activities consisted of a Cookout with Hotdogs and Hamburgers a children's Bouncy House, Corn Hole Games, Food Truck vendors and Yard Sale vendors.

Several Hoke County Democratic Party (HCDP) Officials came out to support the event. NC Senate 24 Candidate, Catina Hamm brought some of her campaign materials to give to the gathering.

HCDP First Vice Chair, Christina Davis-McCoy and Several Precinct Chairs also came out. Precinct #1 Chair, Greta Johnson, Allendale Precinct Chair, Eddie McMillan, Antioch Precinct Chair, Adrienne Graham, and Jim Davis Chair of the Blue Springs Precinct attended and had an enjoyable time.

The HCDP will be hosting more of these fun day activities throughout the county during the election cycle. Hopefully, more of our candidates will get involved with these community engagement events. Remember, all politics are local and every vote count.

Good afternoon my Facebook Family and Friends: We received some very good news today from the Democratic National Committee. The Democratic National Congressional Committee finally realized that Richard Ojeda can beat Richard Hudson in November.

Now, what I am asking all of my family members and friends is to help me help Richard win this race. It's still a toss up, but if we contribute just a few dollars weekly over the next 80+ days and volunteer to do some phone banking, canvassing or working the polls during early voting, Richard Ojeda will win in November.

For North Carolina Richard Ojeda going to congress will help Senator Roy Cooper as he is elected. And it will strengthen the North Carolina Congressional Delegation. Especially, as Don Davis, Deborah Ross, Alma Adams and Valerie Foushee returns to their Congressional District seats.

As our State Party Chair reminded us on Saturday evening at our Unity Dinner, "This an All Hands on Deck" election cycle. Remember, all politics are local and every vote count!

Sappers clear the way, Airborne all the way!
