If you wanted a case study in how local political operatism can go awry, you need look no further than Greensboro, North Carolina this election season.
Let’s be clear: Dr. LaToya B. Gathers is a registered Republican, a declared candidate, and a principled leader. Yet the Guilford GOP not only excluded her from their sample ballot—they still haven’t bubbled red by her name on the official composite ballot. That’s not just petty. That’s deliberate.Chris Meadows and the entire Guilford GOP leadership need to be removed. This kind of operatism is an embarrassment to the party and a slap in the face to voters who deserve transparency and truth.Dr. Gathers isn’t asking for permission. She’s leading with clarity, courage, and coalition independence. That’s why she has my vote. That’s why Greensboro needs her voice.
