by State Rep. Jennifer Balkcom is the Republican candidate for Congress in the 11th District of North Carolina. She is A-rated and endorsed by the NRA-PVF. She is also rated as 4-star by Grass Roots North Carolina and strongly recommended by GRNC-PVF. I have gotten confirmation from her campaign team that she will be appearing in Whittier at the NRA Gun Bus stop at Outpost Mountain Outfitters. The bus will be there from 10am until 2pm.
Balkcom makes no apologies for her pro-rights view. Indeed, Balkcom has been running an ad that features her mother saying how she shot a home intruder.
Grass Roots North Carolina sent out an alert to its members yesterday urging them to attend this event.
The race for NC-11 is a genuine tossup, and with the House majority hanging on a handful of seats, this district could decide whether the next Congress protects your gun rights or puts them on the chopping block. A pro-gun House is the firewall against gun bans, magazine limits, and the next round of ATF overreach. Lose the House, and that firewall is gone.
Jennifer Balkcom has been a consistent supporter of the Second Amendment. Candidates notice who shows up for them, and so do the media and the opposition. A strong turnout of gun owners on Monday sends a clear message: in the mountains of North Carolina, the gun vote is organized, energized, and ready to win this seat.
What you can do
Come out to Outpost Mountain Outfitters any time between 10 and 2. Stop by, shake Jennifer’s hand, say hello to Paul, and let her know gun owners have her back. Bring a friend, bring your family, and forward this alert to every gun owner you know in western North Carolina.
Early voting is around the corner. Races like this are won by the people who show up, starting Monday.
If you live in Waynesville, Sylva, Franklin, Bryson City, or even Asheville, I urge you to come out to Whittier on Monday and meet Jennifer Balkcom. The Complementary Spouse and I will both be there.
