You may not have noticed, however public forums featuring anyone except the Rowan County Commissioner Candidates are non-existent this 2026 mid-terms. The silence and absence might make you ask if Rowan Republicans are afraid to answer to the voice of the people.

Please note, Rowan County Democratic Party has been trying to fill that gvoid left by the GOP and their candidates by providing an open door policy to voters throughout the county. The RCDP monthly breakfasts, Senior Dems, FunFest, and the monthly Town Hall Candidate series presented by Bradshaw, China Grove, and Landis precinct have attempted to fill that void. Please invite friends to join you who may be undecided and come out and support our Democratic candidates. RCDP takes pride in providing voter with the information they need to make informed decisions at the ballot box.
At a time when Republicans officials across the nation are calling Democrats communists and socialists and low I.Q. and “FILL IN THE BLANK WITH YET ANOTHER DEROGATORY COMMENT… – local Democrats are staying focused on issues that matter to working folks.
Recently J.D. Vance called the Florida Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate, Angie Nixon, a “self-described socialist,” and the Vice-President told the crowd that the right response was to tell her to “get the hell out of here. You don’t belong in America.”
Nixon herself responded: “It’s very disrespectful. It’s really disheartening, especially knowing that I come from folks who helped build this country, and my grandparents were sharecroppers in southern Georgia. And all I want for people is to have access to quality healthcare, to have access to fully funded public schools, for people to have homes to live in, and not have to worry about living on the streets.
“There’s absolutely nothing radical or extreme about that,” she continued. “And I don’t consider myself a socialist. I consider myself a lifelong Democrat who puts people over party, people over politics, and people over profit.”
See you in Rockwell on October 10 from 2:30 – 4:30 pm. Spread the word! Let’s put people first!
