2026 North Carolina General Election

The North Carolina constitution guarantees every
child residing in the state a sound and basic
education.  The rapid population growth which
Brunswick County has experienced during the
last 5 years as well as reduced state funding for
our schools threatens this constitutional right.
We can do better, starting with passing the 

school bond referendum.
