Endorsers back a message of inclusion and respect, highlighting a clear statement that rejected tying terrorism to the Muslim faith. Support also comes from reproductive rights advocates and organized labor, suggesting confidence in a candidacy seen as attentive to workers and broad community concerns.




She explicitly stated that terrorism is not representative of the Muslim faith.

Teacher Kelly VanHorn along with 5 other teachers across NC, has decided it's time to make an out-of-the-box move and run for the state legislature in Republican primaries. Kelly along with these teachers are running on a platform to protect & support our public schools. Fighting for public schools & making bold moves are pillars of our work at RWB. This was a no-brainer for our Troublemakers. Plus,Tricia Cotham’s got to go!

I endorse Kelly VanHorn in the Republican primary for her solid, principled approach as a teacher and moderate conservative focused on fully funding public education (including Leandro), affordable healthcare, and infrastructure improvements like public transportation. VanHorn's emphasis on bridging divides and valuing individual freedom contrasts sharply with Cotham's lack of consistent advocacy for district-specific issues. For those seeking effective, unwavering representation, VanHorn is the stronger, more dependable option.
