“My wife and I are natives of Nash County who have spent our lives in the Tarheel State. Since we made Nash County our retirement home, we have witnessed the politics of division leaving more citizens behind. We have also made a new friend in James Gailliard and have observed his untiring efforts to promote unity and well-being among our neighbors. James embodies the old values of honesty and integrity. We know that when he returns to the North Carolina legislature as our senator he will help create the positive change we need so that everyone will have the opportunity to thrive. As unaffiliated voters, neither Democrat nor Republican, we stand with James Gailliard.”

“As Senate Minority Leader, I’m thrilled to endorse Pastor Gailliard for N.C. Senate. As a trusted community figure and proven leader in the legislature, Pastor Gailliard knows firsthand the issues facing District 11 and how best to serve the people of Nash, Franklin, and Vance Counties. I’m confident that he will lead with integrity, and I look forward to working with him to ensure all North Carolinians have access to the opportunities they need to thrive.”

James Gailliard possesses the character, commitment and intellect necessary to serve the people in the North Carolina Senate. James understands the legislative process and will fight for those who have been left behind regardless of race or party affiliation. He knows when to fight; and he knows when to compromise. I urge my friends to vote for James Gailliard for State Senate.

Since his arrival to Nash County, James Gailliard has been my brother and friend, a visionary who reads the signs of the times and responds with wisdom. As a pastor, policymaker, and humanitarian, his leadership transforms communities. I endorse him for the North Carolina Senate because he builds futures, bridges divides, and embodies the love, justice, and courage we desperately need. as been my brother and friend, a visionary who reads the signs of the times and responds with wisdom.
