Preparing for the Ncga House @Nc House Of Representatives

Raleigh, NC, US

Since October 2024, I have traveled to the NC House to learn, observe, and prepare for the opportunity to serve Anson County and Union County as the NC House Representative, District 55.I have never stopped working behind the scenes and staying involved with Republican politics for more than 20 years. When I moved to Monroe on March 24, 2022, I was asked if I was ready to run for office. My reply was no, I believe anyone who runs for office should become a part of the community first, understand the economics, political landscape, and most importantly, the needs of the community.I attended the Trump rally in Charlotte on July 25, 2024. After speaking with so many people, including but not limited to NC House Speaker (now the US 14th Congressman) Tim Moore, US 8th Congressional Candidate (and now) Congressman Mark Harris, and Former US 8th Congressional District Congressman / former NC Attorney General Candidate Dan Bishop. These three gentlemen, plus other elected officials, supported my decision to lead and serve the public. I never forgot the conversation Representative Mark Brody and I had when I first moved to Monroe. It was \"time to act\" and \"time to call\" Representative Brody. I shared my thoughts and talked about the well-being of the NC House District 55.In August of 2024, I made these intentions of serving known to the Anson County GOP Chair Sandra Ossanna, the Union County GOP Chair Allison Powers, and Chairman John Steward of the 8th Congressional District in July 2024. In addition to those mentioned, I have spoken with the current legislators serving Anson County and Union County - NC Senator Todd Johnson, District 35 (Cabarrus, Union), NC Senator David Craven, District 29 (Anson, Montgomery, Randolph, Richmond, Union), NC House Representative Dean Arp, District 69 (Union) and NC House Representative David Willis, District 68 (Union). To this day, I travel to the NCGA in Raleigh, meeting House Members.Follow me on https://vote-john-powell.org
