Featured Speaker at the 2025 Henderson County Democratic Convention Preston Blakely is no stranger to Western North Carolina—or to making history. Born in Asheville and raised in Fletcher, Preston's roots run deep in our region. His journey from a young, engaged resident to the Mayor of Fletcher is a testament to the power of community, legacy, and leadership. Blakely earned his B.A. from UNC Greensboro, double majoring in African American & African Diaspora Studies and Polit

On April 5, more than 1,500 people  gathered in downtown Hendersonville for the Hands Off! “Resist, Insist, Persist” Rally —joining thousands across the state and nation in a unified call to protect our rights, our communities, and our future. Organized by a coalition of nine local organizations, with leadership from Holly Newton  and Laura Bannister , the rally brought together advocates for racial justice, LGBTQ+ equality, environmental protection, immigrant rights, and dem

Justice Allison Riggs won her election. Not once — but twice. Two separate recounts confirmed her victory in the race for North Carolina’s Supreme Court. But that hasn’t stopped the North Carolina GOP from trying to overturn the will of the voters. With help from a Republican-majority panel on the Court of Appeals, they’re now attempting to throw out more than 66,000 legally cast ballots. In a 2-1 partisan decision, the court ruled that voters whose registrations may not meet

What a turnout! The Henderson County Democratic Party’s Annual Precinct Meeting this past Saturday brought a full auditorium to life at West Henderson High School. Around 300 people  showed up—so many that the meeting had to be delayed by half an hour just to get everyone checked in and seated. And it wasn’t just Democrats in the room. We welcomed dozens of Unaffiliated voters and even some fed-up Republicans who are ready for something better. Chair Leslie Carey opened the m

We all have favorite songs and least-favorite songs. As I was waiting for an oil change at the dealership the other day, one of my least favorite songs came on — John Mayer’s “Waiting on the World to Change.” Despite its catchy tune and Mayer’s sultry voice, there’s something that has always bothered me about this song. Why should we wait for the world to change? If we want the world to change, we need to actively work to make the world change. Look what’s happening in these

You may have heard that the building housing the Henderson County Democratic Party office has been sold. As a result, we’ll be temporarily closing our office as we search for a new location. We want to be clear: This does not mean we’re going away. In fact, our work is just picking up. We are actively organizing, recruiting volunteers, preparing for upcoming elections, and planning events across the county. This is simply a physical move — not the end of our efforts. We’re us

I think it may be time to consider where we Democrats are after the election and at the 60-day point of the second Trump presidency. I suspect most (if not all) of us went through a period of mourning after last November 5th. At first glance, it can certainly feel like we Democrats should hunker down and wait for 2028. In his first 60 days in office, Trump has unleashed his Hounds from Hell—Elon and the Oligarchs—who act as if the checks and balances built into our Constituti

I received an invitation to Chuck Edwards’ townhall only two days before the event. With such short notice, imagine my surprise—and delight—when I found that more than 2,000 people had mobilized and showed up last Thursday. Hoping to Get In AB Tech’s Ferguson Auditorium holds fewer than 400 people. The line stretched past the building, around the parking lot, and back down the other side. We waited patiently, chatting with strangers and applauding whenever someone walked past
