“Dedicated precinct organizations have always been the backbone of our county's party,” said Emmet Carney, Chair of the Buncombe County Democratic Party. “We must work for every vote across the county if we intend to stop the radical policies coming out of Raleigh and preserve our resources here. We are going to do it from the ground up. In terms of education, health care, women’s rights, and voting rights, we we will not let this bunch of Republicans take us back to the 1950s. We cannot send North Carolina backwards. We must move forward.”
