The endorsements for the 2022 midterm election are different from any of the past Rhino Times endorsements.
The divide between the parties has become so wide and the atmosphere so partisan that party affiliation is paramount.
On the national level, inflation and the economy are, according to poll after poll, the two most important issues to voters. The Democrats control the House, the Senate and the White House – they own the economy. You don’t have to be an economist to know that pumping trillions of dollars into the economy is going to make inflation worse. But Democrats keeping pumping more and more money into an already overheated economy, and they are doing it without a single Republican vote – so much for bipartisanship.
At the state level, politics boils down to state House Speaker Rep. Tim Moore and President Pro Tem of the state Senate Phil Berger versus Gov. Roy Cooper.
Even Democrats in the legislature who supported the state budget in 2019 refused to vote to override Cooper’s veto, and the result was the state had no budget for two years.
No matter what they say when campaigning, in Raleigh, just like in Washington, on major issues the Democrats vote with Democrats and the Republicans vote with Republicans.
Unfortunately, the North Carolina Supreme Court is as partisan as the legislature, with decisions that involve politics being made on straight party-line votes. The Democrats are in favor of the courts, not the legislature, having the final say in redistricting – a case that is now before the US Supreme Court.
On a local level, all six Democratic Guilford County commissioners supported a 30 percent property tax increase in a year when people were already dealing with historic rates of inflation. The three Republicans opposed the exorbitant tax increase.
The Republicans running for the Guilford County Board of Education say they want to focus on basic education, making sure all students learn to read, write and do basic math. For some reason this is considered a radical idea. They also want to give parents more of a voice in the education of their children.
And that is why all the endorsements this year are for Republicans.

US Senate
The top of the ballot in North Carolina is the race for the open U.S. Senate seat.
Republican three-term Sen. Richard Burr announced he would not run for a fourth term and the race was on. Open Senate seats don’t come around that often in North Carolina.
13th District Congressman Tedd Bud won the Republican primary by a larger than predicted margin and is facing Democrat Cheri Beasley, a former chief justice of the North Carolina Supreme Court.
The two have spent millions of dollars on advertising, so voters should have a pretty good idea of where the two stand.
According to numerous polls, inflation and the economy are the top issues for voters. The Democrats currently control the House, the Senate and the White House, which means they have to own the economy. The Democrats would to be able to campaign on inflation going down, but it isn’t. The Inflation Reduction Act didn’t do anything to slow down inflation and experts say that it won’t. A lot of people think that we are already in a recession, and even some economists who say we aren’t predict we will be soon.
If Beasley is elected, she is going to go to Washington and support the failed economic policies of President Joe Biden, Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
Budd opposed those policies in the House and will continue to oppose them if he is elected to the Senate.
If you like the worst inflation in 40 years and an economy either in recession or on the brink, vote Beasley.
If you want to send someone to Washington to start solving the economic problems and at the very least put a stop to the runaway spending, vote Budd.
Some indications are that Budd is much farther ahead than the mainstream media will admit.
Vote Budd
US House of Representatives, District 6
In the 6th District congressional race, first-time candidate Republican Christian Castelli is challenging Democratic incumbent Kathy Manning running for her second term.
Manning has been in Washington and voted for the bills and policies that put the economy in its current dismal state. Gas prices, despite what the Democrats say, were soaring before the war in Ukraine started. The far left, which controls the Democratic Party, likes high gas prices because it forces people to drive less, use less fossil fuel and helps fight climate change. They don’t seem to care that it also makes it much more expensive for people to drive to work, take their kids to school or go to the grocery store.
Manning supported all the bills that put the country in the situation it is now.
If Castelli is elected, he won’t. The Democrats can’t or won’t solve the problems with the economy. The Inflation Reduction Act – just another tax-and-spend bill from the Democrats – which Manning supported, has done nothing to reduce inflation and, according to the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office, it won’t and it may even cause a slight increase in inflation.
Castelli is asking for the opportunity to go to Washington and try to fix the mess the Democrats have made of the economy, and not by passing more trillion dollar spending bills or offering more taxpayer funded handouts to more people.
Vote Castelli
State Offices
NC Supreme Court Associate Justice
The two North Carolina Supreme Court races are considered by many to be the most crucial races on the ballot for the future of North Carolina.
Despite what judicial candidates say on political issues, the NC Supreme Court votes along party lines.
The current Democratic majority on the NC Supreme Court has taken over redistricting in the state. There is currently a case before the US Supreme Court that may give that power back to the state legislature, which is where both the US and state constitutions place that power. But it may not, which means if the Democrats continue to control the NC Supreme Court, redistricting will continue to be done by the state Supreme Court, not by the legislature.
The Democratic majority on the state Supreme Court also appears to favor the courts, not the legislature, deciding how schools should be funded. If the state Supreme Court has the power to set the state budget, it makes you wonder what purpose the legislature serves.
These issues are purely partisan. The state legislature has a Republican majority and the state Supreme Court has a Democratic majority.
The best way to stop the NC Supreme Court from usurping all the power in the state, is to elect Richard Dietz for Seat 3 and Trey Allen for Seat 5. Both are imminently qualified to serve on the state Supreme Court.
Republican NC Court of Appeals Judge Richard Dietz is running against Democrat NC Court of Appeals Judge Lucy Inman.
Vote Dietz
Republican Trey Allen, who works for the NC Administrative Office of the Courts, is running against Democrat NC Supreme Court Associate Justice Sam Ervin.
Justice Ervin is known as Jimmy Ervin everywhere but on the ballot and in his political campaigns. He is the grandson of Sen. Sam Ervin and, who knows, some voters may think they are voting for Sen. Sam himself.
Vote Allen
NC Court of Appeals
There are four seats up for the North Carolina Court of Appeals. All the candidates are well qualified. Judicial candidates are prohibited from making statements about any case that may come before them, which is kind of like legislative candidates not being allowed to talk about how they would vote on legislation.
But the NC Court of Appeals can be seen as a breeding ground for the NC Supreme Court and North Carolina desperately needs more Republican justices on the NC Supreme Court because we need justices who will interpret the Constitution and laws of the state, not rewrite them or read into them what they would like to see.
In NC Court of Appeals Seat 8, Republican Julee Tate Flood is facing Democrat Carolyn Jennings Thompson.
Vote Floyd
In NC Court of Appeals Seat 9, Democrat District Court Judge Brad A. Salmon is running against Republican Chief Judge of the NC Court of Appeals Donna Stroud.
Vote Stroud.
In NC Court of Appeals Judge Seat 10, Republican NC Court of Appeals Judge John M. Tyson is facing Superior Court Judge Democrat Gale Murray Adams.
Vote Tyson
In NC Court of Appeals Judge Seat 11 Democrat NC Court of Appeals Judge Darren Jackson is running against Republican District Court Judge Michael J. Stading.
Vote Stading.
NC State Senate District 26
In NC State Senate District 26, President Pro Tem of the state Senate Sen. Philip E. (Phil) Berger is running unopposed, but he would still appreciate you vote.
NC State Senate District 27
Democrat District 27 state Sen. Michael Garrett running for his third term is being opposed by Republican candidate Richard (Josh) Sessoms.
This is a race that would make more sense if it was a Democratic primary. Sessoms supports raising the minimum wage and using some of the rainy day fund to give teachers raise. Garrett supports a gas refund tax of $200 each and using money from the rainy day fund “to offer further relief for residents.”
Sessoms is for a tax holiday multiple times a year.
Both want to expand Medicaid, are in favor of medical marijuana and increased funding for schools.
Sessoms is opposed to 0 percent corporate tax and Garrett is opposed to the current tax policies of the state.
One area in which the two do differ is in firearms control. Sessoms is in favor of more firearms ownership and Garrett is in favor of a ban on assault weapons, “red flag” laws and universal background checks.
Based on the stands on the Second Amendment, a close call goes to Sessoms.
Vote Sessoms
NC State Senate District 28
Democrat District 28 NC state Sen. Gladys Robinson is being challenged in her bid for a seventh term by Republican Paul Schumacher.
Robinson is a Democrat in a chamber run by Republicans. In the last session she was the first primary sponsor of one bill that passed, and that had to do with the accreditation of Bennett College. Most of her bills go straight to the Rules Committee, where they stay.
District 28 is in an overwhelmingly Democratic district, but voters do have a choice – they can vote for Schumacher who, on his campaign website, says he will “strive to bring operational control for everything not an enumerated power in the Constitution back to the State Government, such as education, health care, abortion, welfare, unemployment, all things that can be handled more efficiently and responsively on a smaller statewide scale.”
Vote Schumacher
NC House of Representatives District 57
District 57 Democrat State Rep. Ashton Clemmons is being challenged in her bid for a third term by Republican candidate Michelle C. Bardsley.
Clemmons on her campaign website notes that she has been a primary of sponsor of 33 bills; what she doesn’t mention is the 30 of those bills are still in committee and only three have become law. Of the bills where Clemmons is the first primary sponsor, none have become law.
Clemmons easily won reelection in 2020, but the district has been redrawn to make it more competitive. This is race that Bardsley could win if Republicans in the 57th District get out and vote. In midterm elections it is always a question of which party is more motivated to vote and gets the most people to the polls. District 57 provides an opportunity for Republicans to flip a seat.
Both candidates have a background in education, with Bardsley also having business experience. Bardsley is in favor of the Republic effort to continue to lower the tax burden on individuals as well as corporations. The economic boom in the state came after the Republicans lowered the tax rates, and that the increase in economic activity has allowed the Republican legislature to continue to lower taxes while increasing funding for education and public safety as well as building a considerable rainy day fund, which may be needed during the coming recession.
Vote Bardsley
NC House of Representatives District 58
Democrat District 58 state Rep. Amos Quick, running for his fourth term, is being challenged by Republican candidate Chrissy Smith.
Quick served on the Guilford County Board of Education for 12 years before being elected to the state House. He is the senior pastor of Calvary Baptist Church. Before becoming a pastor, Quick performed as a stand-up comedian.
District 58 is a heavily Democratic district that has overwhelmingly supported Quick.
Smith states on her website that her interest in politics was a result of her profession as a personal trainer and group fitness instructor was deemed nonessential during the COVID-19 restrictions and she lost her job.
She states, “During this time, I looked for how I could become involved in government, that this unconstitutional overreach never happens again.”
Currently a professor at Guilford Technical Community College, Smith says that she sees the product of Guilford County Schools and how more and more remedial courses have to be offered to recent high school graduates. Smith wants to get elected to change how things are currently being done.
Vote Smith.
NC House of Representatives District 59
In the District 59 state House race, even liberal Democrats should vote for Republican District 59 state Rep. Jon Hardister over his Democratic challenger Sherrie Young.
According to the latest campaign finance report filed, Young has raised no money and has no money in her campaign finance account. According to the report, she donated $140 to her campaign and then paid herself $140 for “holding office.” Since she doesn’t hold any office how she could have expenses for holding office is unknown.
Young was also charged with firing a gun in the city limits and “going armed to the terror of the people.” Her court date for that was in September but was continued until December.
Hardister is currently the House majority whip, and when Greensboro has a bill it needs to get passed, the call goes to Hardister. Mayor Nancy Vaughan says that Hardister has always been helpful with local bills for Greensboro.
Hardister was first elected to the state House in 2012 as one of the youngest members of the House and is now running for his sixth term.
Vote Hardister.
NC House of Representatives District 60
Democrat District 60 state Rep. Cecil Brockman, running for his fifth term, is being challenged by Republican Bob Blasingame.
In answer to a survey question, Brockman said his number one priority was having the minimum wage to a living wage and providing affordable housing. Blasingame said his was to do what the state could do to provide increased opportunities and benefit the people of state House District 60.
Blasingame describes himself as a “grassroots conservative” who would not support a constitutional amendment to codify abortion because life begins at conception.
Brockman says he would support a constitutional amendment to protect access to legal abortion.
Vote Blasingame
NC House of Representatives District 61
Democrat District 61 state Rep. Mary Price (Pricey) Harrison is running unopposed for her 10th term in the state House.
NC House of Representatives District 62
In the District 62 state House race, Republican state Rep. John Faircloth is being challenged by Democrat Brandon Gray.
Gray has branded Faircloth as a “career politician.” A career “public servant” seems more accurate. Faircloth’s first career was in law enforcement. After he retired as High Point Police chief, he became a real estate broker and served on the High Point City Council. Faircloth is now running for his seventh term in the NC House.
Faircloth, as a retired police chief, is the go-to guy in the House on law enforcement and emergency management issues and is currently co-chair of the House Appropriations Committee. Faircloth has consistently voted to lower state taxes for the people of North Carolina.
Gray supports the typical Democratic policies of solving problems by spending more money.
Vote Faircloth
District Offices
None of the Democratic candidates for judge in Guilford County have opponents.
NC Superior Court Judge District 18-C • Seat 1: Stuart Albright
NC District Court Judge District 18 • Seat 1: Marc Ross Tyrey
NC District Court Judge District 18 • Seat 2: Larry L. Archie
District Attorney • District 24
Democrat District Attorney Avery Michelle Crump has no opponent.
Board of Commissioners At-Large
The At-large Guilford County Board of Commissioners race, where Democrat At-large Guilford County Commissioner Kay Cashion is being challenged by Republican former Guilford County Commissioner Alan Branson is like old timey politics before attack ads were invented.
Cashion and Branson are friends and they both admit it. They genuinely like and respect each other. Cashion has been on the Board of Commissioners for 18 years, and for eight of those years she served with Branson, and for two with Branson as chairman.
There are no sneaky personal attacks in this race, the two simply disagree on policy.
One large disagreement was on the stealth 30 percent tax increase Cashion supported and voted for and Branson opposed. Stealthy because the Board of Commissioners didn’t raise the property tax rate, but this was a reevaluation year and property values went up about 30 percent, so taxpayers are paying an average of 30 percent more in property taxes and Guilford County has 30 percent more in property tax revenue to spend, all without raising the actual tax rate.
At a time when people are struggling to pay their bills because of historic inflation and gas prices, the taxpayers of Guilford County didn’t need a historic property tax increase to further deplete their funds.
Vote Branson.
Board of Commissioners District 1
Democrat District 1 Guilford County Commissioner J. Carlvena Foster is running unopposed.
Board of Commissioners District 2
Republican District 2 Guilford County Commissioner Alan Perdue might be termed the quiet conservative on the board. He is running for this third term against Democrat Paul Meinhart. Perdue retired as the director of the Guilford County Department of Emergency Services before running for commissioner in 2014.
On his campaign website Meinhart lists, “Saving the Environment” as his top issue. Other issues include, “Healthcare For All,” “Establishing Living Wages” and “Equality/LGBT+ Issues.”
Perdue has voted for tax decreases and opposed the massive property tax increase in this year’s budget. He goes about his job without much fanfare, but he gets the job done.
Perdue consistently argues for commonsense solutions and conservative values. He deserves another four-year term.
Vote Perdue
Board of Commissioners District 3
The District 3 Guilford County Board of Commissioners race is for an open seat. Republican District 3 Guilford County Commissioner Justin Conrad did not run for reelection.
Republican District 3 Guilford County Board of Education member Pat Tillman and Democrat Derek Mobley are running for the District 2 seat.
Tillman has served on the school board since 2016, and although Republicans are in a minority on the board, he has found a way to get things done, with a particular concentration on career technical education (CTE).
Tillman is a former Marine and an Iraq War combat veteran. He is a conservative Republican who opposed the 30 percent tax hike the Board of Commissioners passed this year.
Chairman of the Guilford County Board of Commissioners Skip Alston has plenty of Democratic votes to further his tax-and-spend policies and he doesn’t need one more.
Mobley seems primarily interested in Guilford County Schools, which is interesting since he’s running against a school board member.
Vote Tillman.
Board of Commissioners District 7
Democrat District 7 Guilford County Commissioner Frankie T. Jones Jr. was appointed to the Board of Commissioners in March to replace Commissioner Carolyn Coleman, who died in January.
Jones gets to run as an incumbent even though he was not elected. But Jones did get appointed to the Board of Commissioners in time to vote for a 30 percent tax increase – one of the largest in the history of Guilford County.
Republican District 7 County Commissioner candidate Kenny Abbe says he will not support tax increases and will work to cut wasteful spending. Since the Board of Commissioners raised taxes by 30 percent in an election year, it’s hard to imagine what they may do in an off year.
Vote Abbe.
Board of Education
The four Republicans running for seats on the Guilford County Board of Education, District 4 Guilford County Board of Education member Linda Welborn, District 2 Board of Education candidate Crissy Pratt, District 6 Board of Education candidate Tim Andrew and At-large Board of Education candidate Demetria Carter have been running as a team, so we will honor that and endorse the entire team.
The team has been running under the New Vision & New Direction banner and has been endorsed by Take Back Our Schools-GCS.
Andrew states the New Vision & New Direction philosophy pretty succinctly on his website when he states, “My focus is a return to the fundamentals of educating our children, empowering parents, supporting teachers and staff, ensuring student success and security, and promoting financial accountability.”
With $2 billion in bond money to spend on school construction, there has never been a better time for financial accountability from the schools.
Pratt in a survey expressed the goal to “Increase academic performance by returning our educational programs to focus on the basics of reading, writing and the other core subjects. Implement a zero-tolerance discipline policy. Our schools have become a place of disruption which is preventing teachers from teaching.”
On her campaign website Carter states, “The most important teachers in children’s lives are their parents. Stand with me and say yes to truly educating our children and preparing them for future success. I am an advocate or parents having the right to know what their children are being taught in school and having the right to object if they find the curriculum offensive, hateful or divisive.”
Those quotes seem to offer a pretty good indication of why the New Vision & New Direction team is running.
Board of Education At-Large
This is an open seat because At-large Board of Education member Winson McGregor chose not to run for reelection.
Republican Demetria Carter and Democrat Alan Sherouse are the two candidates.
Vote Carter.
Board of Education District 2
This is an open seat because District 2 Board of Education member Anita Sharpe decided not to run for reelection.
Democrat Amanda Cook and Republican Crissy Pratt are running for the District 2 Board of Education seat.
Vote Pratt.
Board of Education District 4
Republican District 4 Board of Education member Linda Welborn is being challenged by Democrat Deon Clark.
Vote Welborn
Board of Education District 6
Democrat Board of Education member Khem D. Irby is being challenged by Republican Tim Andrew.
Vote Andrew.
Board of Education District 8
Democrat District 8 Board of Education member Deena Hayes-Green, who is chair of the Guilford County Board of Education, is running unopposed.
Clerk of Superior Court
Democrat Clerk of Superior Court Lisa Y. Johnson-Tonkins has no opponent
Sheriff
Democrat Guilford County Sheriff Danny Rogers is being challenged by Republican Phil Byrd.
When Rogers took office in January 2017, he fired 25 deputies reportedly because he perceived them as being loyal to the administration of former Sheriff BJ Barnes. Rogers didn’t give the deputies an opportunity to prove that they would continue to do their jobs to the best of their ability, he fired them.
The Guilford County Sheriff’s Office like just about every law enforcement office in the state has a shortage of officers. Most agencies do what they can to keep experienced officers on the rolls because they are so hard to replace. The Sheriff’s Department under Rogers also has a shortage of officers, but it’s much worse than it would be because Rogers greatly increased the deficit for political reasons.
If elected, Byrd says he doesn’t plan to fire anyone for political reasons or just because they were hired by Rogers. It represents a completely different philosophy on how the sheriff’s office should be run.
Even though Rogers has now been sheriff for four years, Byrd has far more experience in the Guilford County Sheriff’s Office, having served there for 30 years with over 10 years at the command level before retiring in 2014.
Byrd says that he wants to bring “responsible leadership” to the sheriff’s office and he should get that opportunity.
Vote Byrd.
Soil and Water Conservation District Supervisor
In the only nonpartisan race on the ballot, David Crawford, Soil and Water Conservation District Supervisor Josh Myers, Soil and Water Conservation District Supervisor Anna Gerringer Amoriello and Joshua (Fox) Brown are running for two seats on the board.
Myers and Amoriello appear to be the best choices.
Voter Myers and Amoriello
**Spoiler Alert** There is no Democrat running for any public office in 2022 in America worthy of one single vote from any American. NOT ONE.
Wow! I was going to say the same thing about the American fascist party… I mean repungnant party. I mean republicant party.
Ah, Democrats. The party of acceptance, inclusion, and tolerance….only if you agree them though.
Only a democrat communist would say that!
ha ha ha so true
Fascism is a tactic of the left. National Socialist German Worker’s Party has leftist written all over it. You can’t kill 6 million Jews without big government. Democrats are also the party of projection. If you want to know what democrats are doing, just look at what they accuse Republicans of doing.
I did vote for Byrd. He is republican. There is that.
Funny how republicans troll you for your statement given that it is a reply to basically the same statement. Hypocrisy is their jam for sure.
Spot on, Gary!
Mr. Hammer has made great endorsements.
Kathy Manning is not deserving of a return to Washington. She voted in lockstep with Biden and Palosi. Do you like the state of the economy? Do you care about the high gas prices? This is what will continue with Manning. Manning was instrumental in the American Hebrew Academy becoming a dumping ground for illegal minors. This was a backroom deal that Manning was in favor and was a part of. I understand the connection between Manning’s Jewish faith and AHA. Slipping this under the radar should eliminate Manning from consideration.
As far as Sam Ervin is concerned, he and all Democrat judges on the NC Supreme Court voted with Associate Justice Anita Earls’ opinion regarding the voter ID amendment, a victory for NC NAACP. Vote for only justices that carry an R after their name. Very important.
Vote for Phil Byrd because he is not Danny Rogers.
Things are quietly picking back up at the Hebrew Academy. I’m sure Manning had them slow their roll until midterms got closer. We will get hammered with El Salvador gangbangers as soon as she is re-elected.
Manning needs to be investigated for her involvement in the fraud. Sad the only one doing any investigation is a kid who graduated from AHA and writes for the Floridian. Based on the no-bid contracts that have been made public that campus is getting $170,000/ year/ available migrant spot (assuming a full capacity of 1,000). It was closer to $300,000K until the duplicate no-bid contract was halted. It’s still being funded at &170million per year plus a cool $10million per year in “rent” to the AHA board, which is supposed to be a not for profit. I’m looking forward to seeing Democrats out of power and in front of congress.
Good work, Young Conservative.
The collusion is fairly evident. If it’s business as usual, nothing will happen. Voting for bar attorneys to be a Lawmaker seems like a bad conflict of interest at the least.
Mrs. Manning and Beasley are Machine Candidates. It’s not what they say, it’s what they and their party does. If you want more of the same, then these are who you want.
Seems like a lot of unnecessary words to make your point.
Why not …. Republicans good, Democrats bad. This election and all future ones.
Would save typing and reading.
Agreed, very disappointed in the Rhino’s endorsements this year. You literally put no thought into this and could have saved the reader time by just saying “straight Republican ticket”. I’ve always leaned republican but you can’t tell me there are absolutely no worthwhile democrats this election. You’re just being silly and ridiculous… you’ve lost all credibility.
Then do your own research and make your own choices. Don’t let Hammer or anyone tell you who to vote for. For me, I have done the looking and there are no Dems that fit my bill this year. Republican all the way this time around and I made that choice way before Hammer’s endorsements.
why did the rhino endorsements pick Anna Gerringer Amoriello? if you call the Greensboro GOP they will tell you she not on their list to vote for rep votes due to she drop out weeks ago, crazy why would the rhino do something Dume like pick a person out of the run? it’s crazy
I think John could not think of the idea of picking a Democrat since you pick 2 .but
Anna Gerringer Amoriello It is not on the Democra handouts ?? she’s not on the Republican handouts. ??
I do not believe all Republicans are good and all Democrats are bad.
You are right, but right now, you may not be. Certainly, there are good/bad people on both sides of the aisle; but the LEFT offers us is even more of the same.
so true
I voted for Dave Crawford and Josh Myers. Talk is Anna Gerringer Amoriello drop out weeks ago due That’s why she’s not being at none of the debates or the party headquarters or campaigning and answering emails apparently she gave up weeks ago If she is still in the race I would hate to see what would happen if she was elected
I did the same Ann i voted for Dave Crawford and Josh Myers also due to Anna is out . i am not going to give fox my vote~! sorry
I am still in the running for the Soil and Water District Supervisor position and am currently serviing as a supervisor. I am so sorry that anyone was led to believe otherwise.
Anna If you look online both of the handout for the Democratic party and the Republican party do NOT have you down as a candidate to vote for on their handouts. that’s why everybody presumed you have dropped out because neither of the party has you listed as their candidate. I also just voted for Myers & Crawford on Friday and I am a Republican. The Republican hand out only has Myers on it. Are you with the green party or a libertarian? If you are a Republican I will probably be very upset if I was you that they left you off the handout but put Myers on it it sounds kind of discriminate if you ask me but I am just a voter I have no control over the party
Too bad this didn’t come out before voting opened.
Don’t worry Juan, you have plenty of time.
Democrat Clerk of Superior Court Lisa Y. Johnson-Tonkins has no opponent.
Well she damn sure needs someone to run against her. She refused to do her job to my face.Then tried to get me falsely arrested for calling her on it. What a POS
Cowboy why dont you run for office next year???
What more can be said? She is Yvonne Johnson’s daughter. Like mother like daughter.
Yvonne Johnson’ is a snob! i would never vote for her
Hmmm all Republicans endorsed huh lol
Hammer-you continue to be an idiot. Have you been living in a foriegn country? The Republican party has been captured by the tin-hat brigade. Wake up.
He lived in Portugal, I lived in Great Britain, and we can both spell “foreign”.
So who’s the idiot?
The tin-hat brigade did not cause inflation, high gas prices, border chaos, student loan forgiveness, a president that suffers cognitive inefficiency, defunding the police, Black Lives Matter, Antifa, and never-ending race baiting.
The 2020 election was stolen from President Trump. If this makes me a member of your tin-hat brigade, I wear that tin hat proudly.
“Can’t we all just get along?”
Sounds like you need to go live in a socialist/communist country and then come back to the freedoms of the US. Democrats are using the socialist/communist playbook for running a country.
Is the nursing home forcing you to watch MSNBC all day again?
Remember Ted Budd screwed the farmers dealing w/ his seed company so he will fit right into Richard “inside stock trader” Burr’s Senate seat.
Too bad, again the R party can’t offer a candidate w/ some moral fiber.
Can you please explain the seed deal to which you are referring, providing facts?
Bad hangover, don’t drink so much cheap schnapps you bum!
As far as Ted Budd’s Dad ripping of the farmers, that’s a damn lie and you should have known that because a damned lying ass liberal told it. Do some research you bum!
John- most of the republicans you endorsed are trump lead, mindless, spineless individuals who do not represent their constituents. Everyone has opinions on many issues, I will not vote for anyone ( especially judge nominees) who are to represent the law without prejudice, who believe they know better than a woman of her own body.
Glenn what about a man’s right to his body. Should I not have the right to choose not to wear a seatbelt or not to wear a motorcycle helmet America is becoming the land of not so free choices.
You are correct- each person should have a right to their own body- with respect to wearing a helmet I personally have seen many deaths due to one’s choice of freedom. Each day is a gift- live it to the fullest!
Glenn that is why I voted for TED BUDD he will be grate at the job and do what is wright for us. win tedd
And I have seen many deaths due to smoking, alcohol, skydiving, and bacon double cheesesburgers.
Should they be banned, along with riding with your wind in the hair?
Glenn, at what point does a man get to decide on being a parent or opt out of the responsibilities of this pregnancy? I do agree with your opinion on helmets though however every abortion causes a death! Every single one…
If you are referring to the recent Supreme Court’s decision regarding abortion, the Court ruled that abortion is a state issue, which it is. If you believe that it is a woman’s choice to abort a baby at any point in the pregnancy, including right before birth, then write the NC legislature and voice that opinion hoping that a law will be passed with no abortion restrictions. The Supreme Court did not outlaw abortions. Why people believe this is beyond my capability of understanding. Pro-abortion believers must want unfettered access to abortion regardless of the opinions of others, which makes for an uncivilized place to be.
How would you (presumably a man by your name) have any understanding of a woman’s right to her own body? You probably look at women every day, with a little “oohing” if warranted. The women that you refer to have a right to their body until there is another life inside of it–a life wanted or not.
Anyway, over the years, democrats have become the actual party to cry wolf, as they wear the wolf’s clothing. They are playing pretty well at saying GOP and “mega magas” are the liars, cheaters, etc. etc., but forget to look in the mirror–or do they forget?
What, not supporting any write in candidates this time? After all, that worked so well in the mayor’s race.
It was not the write-in candidate that was the problem. It was lack of regard by voters for electing quality people. It is a real probability that the voters who voted for the write-in candidate may not have voted had there not been a write-in candidate. The election revealed that there are a few sane people in Greensboro.
Anna Gerringer Amoriello drop out of the race weeks ago why would you Mr. hammer tell people to vote for a person not even running now? that votes not going for Myers that could put a Dubble win in for the demo
I am still running for the Guilford Soil and Water Supervisor position, I am really not sure where the rumor started that I had dropped out.
Anna You’re not listed on the Republican party headquarters list and there handouts.
Only Myers is. Sorry .

did you see where Sal Leone was asking people to write-in him as a candidate. ha ha ha ha ha nope
i voted for 13th District Congressman Tedd Bud and Christian Castelli and Linda Welborn and Crissy Pratt and Dave Crawford and that was all i voted for.
Thanks again John for your endorsements. I’m very dependent on these at each election and appreciate your research. There are always some of the candidates that I know nothing about. I feel relief each time I find your list.
