The Mitchell County Democratic Party has been invited to join our neighbors in Yancey County to participate in a fundraiser for Caleb Rudow, our Democratic candidate for the 11th Congressional District. The event is being hosted by Lucy and Jim Parlier.

From Caleb Rudow —

Since day one of serving our community in Raleigh, I've been a huge advocate for 1️⃣ supporting working families, 2️⃣ increasing access to affordable healthcare, and 3️⃣ protecting our rights from far-right extremism.

Speaking from experience, I know this work isn't the only solution – it takes real collaboration across elected offices to get our residents the change they need to thrive.

That's why, in these last few months, I've been putting in the work not just in my own campaign, but in supporting other candidates in our state who care about our residents as much as I do, like our Secretary of State, Elaine Marshall, and our current Attorney General – and future governor – Josh Stein.

Change is hard, but I'm confident that if we all work together, we can get to a future where we can all be proud to call WNC our home.

Here's part of why I'm reaching out: according to quarterly reports, my team and I are falling short against my corporate-backed GOP opponent.

In one of the most competitive districts in our state, I need partners on every level — including among my friends and neighbors — to help me get the word out about my people-first movement. Please, Mitchell County Democrats, will you join my team with a donation today?
