Teaser Episode

Hey everyone, JD Wooten here. You may remember me from my campaign for the North Carolina State Senate in 2020. I ran for the State Senate because I believe our democracy is under attack from the same forces who have long stood against freedom, democracy, and just plain common decency. We had a great run, but unfortunately, even the best of races couldn't overcome gerrymandering. Still, my fight isn't over.

One of the many things I learned while campaigning is how difficult it can be for down-ballot candidates, local officials, and organizations fighting for democracy to get their message out. I also just really like talking to people who believe in and support democracy. So, I'm bringing those things together with Carolina Democracy, a podcast dedicated to promoting democracy right here in North Carolina.

We'll release new episodes weekly featuring interviews with candidates, community organizers, campaign staffers, and anyone else who's dedicated to fighting for democracy. Our first full episode will release on January 17th, and I'll have plenty more to share in that episode and those that follow. In the meantime, please subscribe wherever you get your podcasts, tell your friends and family, share with your neighbors, or whatever it is you feel called to do to help us in our fight for democracy right here in North Carolina. Oh, and you can follow us on social media for updates as well, links in the show notes.

As John F. Kennedy said, "Democracy is never a final achievement. It is a call to an untiring effort." Thanks for joining me in this fight, and don't forget to subscribe wherever you get your podcasts!
