Asheville and Buncombe County are in a state of neglect and disrepair

• Infrastructure has been neglected

• Our once fine hospital system has been cited for poor performance

• Sexually explicit books are in our children's school libraries

• Duly arrested criminals are released without any consequences

• Drug paraphernalia and human feces litter our beautiful downtown

And yet, our current leaders focus on DEI, reparations, and "road diets"

Now is the time to say ENOUGH!

Vote for common-sense officials who will fix Buncombe County.

In this newsletter, you can learn about some of the fine local common-sense candidates that can help make a BIG difference in our community.

• CJ Domingo is exactly what Asheville City Council needs to bring common-sense back to our city. CJ has worked for the city and knows how to deliver effective policies. He would be a monitor for honesty. He’d be the presence of a cat in a room of mice. 

• This newsletter has information about some other key local conservative candidates.

Check our website to learn about conservative candidates for state, federal, and judicial positions.
