Davidson Local’s Practice: Columns by Local Politicians

At Davidson Local, we welcome columns written by local politicians. Our mission has always been to provide a free and trusted space for community voices, and that includes elected officials. We believe it matters for readers to hear directly from the people making decisions that shape Davidson County’s future.

Columns allow local leaders to explain their positions in their own words, share updates on city or county initiatives, and invite community dialogue. Publishing these voices doesn’t mean endorsement—we treat them as part of a balanced news ecosystem, alongside reporting, community commentary, and reader letters.

We edit only for clarity, length, and factual accuracy, but the perspectives belong to the authors themselves. Just like with letters and guest columns, the responsibility for content rests with the contributor. Our job is to make sure it reaches the community in a transparent and accessible way.

Politics, goverment

At Davidson Local, we run political stories from various viewpoints because our community isn’t one-note—and neither is the truth. Our job isn’t to tell people what to think; it’s to make sure they have access to the full picture. Informed voters are empowered voters. We believe in shining light on all sides, even when it’s uncomfortable, because democracy isn’t served by silence—it’s built on dialogue.

NC State Government, Politics

In his weekly newsletter the State Senator is urging residents to speak up—and so am I. If you’ve had a frustrating (or just plain baffling) experience at the DMV, don’t keep it to yourself. Share it with the Governor’s Office and the NC Department of Transportation, which oversees the DMV. Your stories matter. They’re not just complaints—they’re roadmaps for reform.
