Congratulations to GOP Primary Winners

Thanks to every Republican candidate who put themselves out there. It’s not easy. 17 days of early voting is brutal. Campaigns are often not glamorous. You gave it your all, and we appreciate you all.

Thanks to the many volunteers, poll watchers, workers and greeters, and our election integrity observers.

Overall turnout for the primary was 17%. Early reports show 28.53% of Republicans participated in this primary. That number is down compared to 30.79% GOP participation rate in 2024. Recent primaries show 23.30% participation in 2022 and 28.17% among Republicans in 2020. The Democratic Party's 26.67% participation rate this week was the highest since their 2020 presidential primary, when 34.81% turned out.

The Republican voters have made their choice. Our Cabco team is set, and now we press on to November! We cannot sit out in November!

Congratulations to:

• Michael Whatley - US Senate

• Kevin Crutchfield-NC Senate
• James Bailey, Kristel Swayze & Ian Patrick - Cabco Commissioners
• Robert Kirk, William Barbee & Bubba Hartsell - Cabco School Board
