Harris-Walz campaign launches offices in rural NC

The Harris-Walz campaign is kicking off a series of events in North Carolina this weekend following Vice President Kamala Harris’ appearance in Raleigh on Friday and ahead of the Democratic National Convention.

There will be 323 events engaging more than 2,500 people across the state, including Democratic National Convention Committee (DNCC) watch parties, canvass launches, phone banks, and volunteer trainings, according to the campaign.

Currently, there are 20 offices for the campaign across North Carolina. Six more will open next week in key rural counties, such as Wayne, Wilson, Burke, Henderson, and Lenoir counties. In addition to Harris and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, these offices are dedicated to electing Democrats down the ballot as well.

This marks a historic investment in rural North Carolina communities, according to the campaign. Wayne, Wilson, Henderson, and Lenoir counties have seen a shift towards Democrats since 2004. Other offices will serve rural communities like Alamance and Johnston counties.
