As we continue to fight for our democracy, and bend every effort to put a Mountain Democrat in Congress, this special occasion provides us a fun opportunity to connect with each other and build our party. Strengthening these bonds allows us to work well together to support races -- up and down the ballot -- in the 2026 mid-terms this November. Building and growing our community provides the foundation we need to stay Mountain Democrat strong in the home stretch.
Gather with friends and candidates for a reception with appetizers and beverage of your choice, then enjoy dinner and a program of inspiring Democratic speakers. The Liston B. Ramsey Awards will honor Democrats from each NC11 county, and we'll bestow the 2026 Mountain Democrat of the Year Award on an outstanding volunteer in our District.
Monies raised beyond the cost of the Gala will support the important Party Building actions and Get Out the Vote efforts of our district's smaller, less resourced counties.
Sponsor-level contributors will be acknowledged at the event, with our deep appreciation.
