Conversations with Council of State Candidates for North Carolina. I am learning so much about the roles and responsibilities of our state government officials through these brief conversations. Please give a listen.
Conversation with
Sarah Taber
Candidate for Agriculture Commissioner
I have had the pleasure of meeting Sarah Taber briefly several times. I wanted a chance to speak with her at length about her campaign to be NC's Agriculture Commissioner, so I arranged a Zoom meeting. As those of you who know me well understand, my food is very important to me and so is the health of our local farms. In this conversation, Sarah explains her experience and her desire to share the wisdom she has gained with all our state's farmers. The viability of our farms is critical to our food supply, the economic health of our rural communities and our climate resilience. Please take a few minutes to listen and please share broadly.

Conversation with
Braxton Winston
Candidate for Commissioner of Labor
I had an opportunity to speak with Commissioner of Labor candidate Braxton Winston. I invited him to come in conversation with Democracy Out Loud. This is a group of statewide activists who came together in 2017 to hold Thom Tillis accountable to his constituents. Originally founded as Tuesdays with Tillis, we renamed ourselves when Covid forced us to Zoom. Because of our resistance roots, we always begin and end our conversations with a song. I thought the conversation went very well. I learned a lot and I think you will too. Please visit Braxton's website at https://www.votebraxton.com for more info.
