Blue Beacons protest MAGA Gubernatorial candidate Mark Robinson's appearance at the St. James Community Center.
Blue Beacons came out in force to make signs and protest the appearance of hyper-MAGA wierdo candidate for NC Governor, Mark Robinson. Our precinct's GOP members hosted Robinson at the St. James Community Center for a fundraiser. Robinson has made public and vile statements against women, the LBGTQ community, Jews and Muslims. This is one reason why Blue Beacons are actively supporting Josh Stein, the Democratic candidate for governor and current NC State Attorney General.
Supreme Court Justice Allison Riggs visits Mosquito II
On January 11, 2024, Supreme Court Justice Allison Riggs visited Mosquito II and spoke with the Blue Beacons about the importance of returning the majority of North Carolina's Supreme Court to the Democrats. When the Republicans won the majority of the 2022 election, they immediately overturned the prior court's ruling on gerrymandering. As a result, the decision shifted North Carolina's representation in the US Congress from a tie of 7-7 to most likely 11-3. Three Democratic Congress members abandoned their reelection bids because their district lines changed significantly, making it difficult to run a winning campaign. Also, the abortion issue could easily come before the NC Supreme Court soon. With a GOP majority court, NC women could lose their freedom to choose. Blue Beacons need to educate voters in Mosquito II (and elsewhere!) about the importance of the Judicial races in the 2024 election.
Blue Walks
Keep an eye out for "Blue Walks", where like-minded voters get together wearing our blue shirts and go for walks. In the spring of 2024, Blue Beacons hit the trails together and along the way, gathered signatures for Bob Fulton's County Commissioner candidate petition.
This fall, we'll be Blue Walking and Knocking, canvassing the Mosquito 2 precinct to make sure left-leaning voters understand what's at stake in this election and that they get to the polls.

Bellinis for Ben: Former NC Senator and Democratic Primary Lt. Governor Candidate Ben Clark visits Mosquito II
Blue Beacons, Bellinis, and Ben! We had a great time hosting former NC Senator and Lt. Governor primary candidate Ben Clark. Senator Clark lost his primary bid to NC Senator Rachel Hunt. Nonetheless, a great time was had by all as Ben described the responsibilities of a Lt. Governor, and why it is critical Democrats win ALL state races in 2024.
