We take a break from our normal political content to just say: “Rest in Peace”. This one hurts.
Patrick Stewart has sadly passed away at the age of 86.

This change comes just a couple of days after @CookPolitical and @foxnewspolitics also shifted the race towards us. There’s real momentum here folks. People want change. #nc13 #ncpol #paulbarringerforcongress

Elected officials should work for the people, not the highest bidder. That's why I'll fight to ban members of Congress from trading stock. Public service should be a responsibility, not a side hustle. #WNC #NC11

Next Tuesday has the real possibility of being apocalyptic for the GOP, especially here in NC. Early voting ends on Saturday, make a plan! #ncpol

It’s Monday, October 26th which means there are only a few more days of early voting left! If you are tired of what’s going on and want change then make a plan to vote. I’m gonna be at the polling sites this week and I hope to see you there! #paulbarringerfornc #ncpol #nc13

Another great day knocking doors, talking to voters, and even running into supporters. People want change and they deserve it. They deserve someone who is willing to put in the work to earn their vote instead of taking it for granted. #paulbarringerfornc13 #ncpol #nc13

I’ve been all over the district today talking to folks. Everywhere from polling sites to gas stations to community parks and I’ve loved every minute of it! These conversations are what’s going to move the needle as we head towards November 3rd. #paulbarringerfornc13 #ncpol
