President Barack Obama endorses Terri LeGrand and Dan Besse!

President Barack Obama, on Tuesday, August 4, 2020, announced endorsements of 118 candidates in the United States. Of those 118 candidates, two were Forsyth County Democrats. Those two candidates are Terri LeGrand and Dan Besse.

Terri LeGrand is a candidate for state senate, and Dan Besse is a candidate for N.C. House of Representatives. Both candidates hope to win their respective seats, so that Democrats can gain control of the N.C. Legislature.

With the redistricting of the North Carolina legislative map for the 2020 general election, these districts have become more competitive for Demoracts to win. Some experts even say that winning these seats will ensure that one or both chambers of the NC General Assembly flip from red to blue. 

Congratulations, Terri and Dan! We cannot wait to vote for y'all this November!
