Vote early, and vote local

Its time to vote local. I am voting for Patsy Keever on Nov. 2. At the grocery store I “buy local” whenever I can — it is my vote against the corporate anonymity that degrades the quality of our food and our lives. And now its time to vote local, to fight the anonymous, corporate deep pockets that are degrading our political system.

Vote local, vote for Patsy Keever. Patsy is campaigning on her “Four E’s: Economy, Education, Environment and Equality.” She was a school teacher in our community for 25 years, and a Buncombe County Commissioner for 12. “Putting People First.” I like the sound of that. And what’s more, I like Patsy; she’s our local candidate.

Vote early, and Vote Local.

Thanks for reading through to the end…

We share your inclination to get the whole story. For the past 25 years, Xpress has been committed to in-depth, balanced reporting about the greater Asheville area. We want everyone to have access to our stories. That’s a big part of why we’ve never charged for the paper or put up a paywall.

We’re pretty sure that you know journalism faces big challenges these days. Advertising no longer pays the whole cost. Media outlets around the country are asking their readers to chip in. Xpress needs help, too. We hope you’ll consider signing up to be a member of Xpress. For as little as $5 a month — the cost of a craft beer or kombucha — you can help keep local journalism strong. It only takes a moment.
