Judicial races may not receive as much attention as other elections, but they have a lasting impact on every North Carolinian.

Our judges make decisions that affect public safety, constitutional rights, election laws, property rights, businesses, families, and the rule of law. They don't write laws—they interpret and apply them fairly and consistently.

That's why it's important to research the candidates before you vote. The judges elected this year will shape North Carolina's legal system for years to come through decisions that can impact generations.

This November, vote for who are conservative and focus on following the constitution:
✅ Sarah Stevens for NC Supreme Court
✅ Judge Craig Collins
✅ Judge Michael C. Byrne
✅ George Bell for Judge

Every race matters. Every vote matters. Don't skip the judicial section of your ballot.

Happy 250th Birthday, America! 🇺🇸

Today, we celebrate a milestone that few generations have had the privilege to witness. Two hundred and fifty years ago, a group of courageous patriots pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor to the cause of liberty. Their vision gave birth to a nation founded on the revolutionary belief that our rights come not from government, but from God.

For 250 years, Americans have met every challenge with determination, faith, sacrifice, and an unwavering commitment to freedom. Through triumph and tragedy, war and peace, prosperity and hardship, our nation has endured because generations of Americans chose duty over comfort, courage over fear, and liberty over tyranny.

Today, we honor the soldiers, veterans, first responders, public servants, workers, business owners, parents, and countless citizens whose contributions have strengthened our communities and preserved the blessings of freedom for future generations.

As we celebrate this historic anniversary, we also recognize our responsibility to safeguard the principles that have made America the greatest nation in the world. Here in Gaston County, we remain committed to constitutional government, individual liberty, free enterprise, and the rule of law. These timeless principles have guided our nation for 250 years and must continue to guide us for the next 250.

May we never take for granted the freedoms we enjoy, the sacrifices that secured them, or the responsibility we share to preserve them.

Today, we celebrate our history. We honor those who came before us. And we look forward with hope and confidence to the future of this great nation.

God Bless America, God Bless Gaston County, God Bless North Carolina and Happy Independence Day! 🇺🇸
