Candidate Connection is a Success!

The Crystal Coast Republican Women hosted their highly anticipated biennial candidate meet & greet event on Saturday, September 14th, at Bogue Sound Distillery. The venue buzzed with energy and enthusiasm, welcoming over 80 engaged voters eager to connect with the candidates vying for their support.

This gathering, which was not only free but also open to the public, served as a vital platform for fostering meaningful conversations and interactions between the community and the aspiring leaders. Attendees had the invaluable opportunity to voice their concerns, share their perspectives, and engage in constructive dialogues on a wide range of issues that hold significance for the region.

Against the backdrop of clinking glasses and animated discussions, the event encapsulated the essence of democracy in action, where citizens actively participated in shaping the future of their community. The candidates, in turn, had the chance to listen attentively, address questions, and articulate their visions and plans to an attentive audience, fostering a sense of transparency and accountability.
