What Gov. Josh Stein says is the message NC voters sent state politicians

The day after Democrats flipped the North Carolina House as part of a national blue wave, Democratic Gov. Josh Stein said that voters sent a message that they want “balance” in state government. Stein talked about working together with Republicans, ending partisan gerrymandering and what message North Carolina voters sent lawmakers about what they want them to do. The message North Carolina voters sent “Last night was an incredible night for the country, of course, but especially so for us here in North Carolina,” Stein told reporters during a news conference outside the Executive Mansion in downtown Raleigh. “The voters of North Carolina made their voices heard loudly and clearly. They want balance. They want common sense in their government.” “The voters want leaders who work together on their behalf. Our job as those elected leaders is to listen and to work together because we can work together to lower costs.” On getting rid of the ‘political cancer’ of gerrymandering Stein told reporters he would support an independent redistricting commission following years of Republicans gerrymandering districts in their favor. “There are a few causes of the political cancers that we suffer from in this country. Partisan gerrymandering is certainly one,”

Nash County is joining Operation Green Light

The Nash County Board of Commissioners unanimously approved a resolution Monday supporting Operation Green Light for Veterans, a national initiative that recognizes military veterans and raises awareness of the challenges many face after returning to civilian life. The resolution was presented by Nash County Veterans Services Director Anthony Rogers, who urged the county to join communities across the nation in showing support for veterans and their families. Operation Green Light, an initiative of the National Association of Counties and the National Association of County Veteran Service Officers, encourages residents, businesses and local governments to display green lights in the week leading up to Veterans Day. The display from Nov. 4 through Nov. 11 is a visible symbol of gratitude and support for those who have served in the armed forces. The resolution cites the sacrifices made by military personnel, the stress many service members experience during the transition to civilian life and the continuing role veterans play in their communities through civic organizations, public service and volunteer work. Following the presentation, commissioners offered their appreciation to Rogers and highlighted the ongoing needs of veterans throughout Nash County. Nash County Commissioner Wayne Outlaw thanked Rogers for both his military service and

Democratic challenger defeats one-term DA in a landslide victory

An overwhelming majority of voters in Edgecombe, Nash and Wilson counties cast ballots to replace first-term incumbent District Attorney Jeff Marsigli with Democratic challenger Rena Spellman. Four years ago, Marsigli, a Republican, defeated longtime incumbent Democrat Robert Evans by 79 votes in a hard-hitting contest, but unofficial results on Tuesday showed that this year’s contest between Marsigli and Spellman was a big win for the Democrat. Spellman in the three counties in the 8th District combined received 49,878 votes (slightly more than 57.2%) to Marsigli’s 37,271 (nearly 42.8%), according to unofficial vote tallies. That is a 12,607-vote difference. Spellman was victorious in all three counties, with her most narrow win coming in Nash County where she received 21,697 votes (slightly more than 53.5%) to Marsigli’s 18,824 votes (nearly 46.5%). In Wilson County, Spellman received 16,112 votes (nearly 56%) to Marsigli’s 12,689 votes (slightly more than 44%). And in long-historically pro-Democratic Edgecombe County, Spellman received 12,069 votes (67.7%) to Marsigli’s 5,758 votes (32.3%). All vote tallies are unofficial until canvassing. Neither Spellman nor Marsigli could be reached for comment. However, in phone interviews last month with both candidates, the topic of discussion centered around experience. Marsigli said that he likes Spellman,

Annual Ride of Honor returns for fourth year to celebrate veterans

The 2026 Ride of Honor slated for today is set to feature numerous motorcyclists taking a route from Flying Iron Harley-Davidson off North Winstead Avenue into the Nash County countryside and through small towns before returning to the motorcycle dealership. The motorcycle ride is going to be the fourth such event. The purpose is to celebrate veterans and to help raise funds for nonprofit veterans-focused initiatives in Nash County. Mary Ann Knarr-Avery, the founder of the event, said she is pleased with how the ride has grown through the years. “I’ll tell you, when we started out, we only had a few people helping put this together,” Knarr-Avery said. Now, Knarr-Avery said, “We have an amazing team of people,” including ambassadors, a group of alumni and community leaders providing support. “And so, I see us continuing to grow,” Knarr-Avery said. “Every year, it’s a little bit better.” Knarr-Avery also noted that the Ride of Honor has grown to include what is called Project Built for Honor. Project Built for Honor resulted in what Knarr-Avery said is an approaching completion of transforming, in stages, the interior of the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 2057 off N.C. 97 southwest of Rocky Mount.

Pittman earns another two-year term in NC House

Voters in N.C. House District 24 chose experience and continuity at the ballot box, returning Democratic incumbent N.C. Rep. Dante Pittman to Raleigh for another two-year term in the legislature. Pittman secured his reelection with 18,017 votes, earning 58.26% of the vote. His Republican opponent, Blake Boykin, received 12,910 votes, or 41.74%, according to unofficial election results. District 24 encompasses all of Wilson and the southeastern corner of Nash County. In Nash County, Boykin fared much better, taking 61.14% of the total votes cast in the Sharpsburg precinct, which accounted for 1,158 votes. Pittman garnered 736 votes in the Sharpsburg precinct (38.86% of the total votes cast in Nash County). Tuesday’s outcome means Pittman will continue representing District 24 in the N.C. House, with the Democrats poised to take the majority control of that chamber if unofficial vote tallies hold after canvassing. News outlets reported that Republicans will still hold a majority in the N.C. Senate. Tuesday’s race drew nearly 30,927 votes, reflecting strong voter participation in the district for a midterm contest. In 2022, the last time Nash and Wilson counties’ voters went to the polls in a midterm election, the N.C. House District 24 race garnered 27,889 votes.
