“Fifty percent of voters live in 15 of NC’s counties. Many of the other counties pretty much get ignored. I hope to get to chat with lots of folks around the state and share libertarian solutions. I’ll also be listening to what North Carolinians have to say.” – Barbara Howe
Barbara has committed to visiting all 100 counties in North Carolina and making a 5k run (3.1 miles) in each. After each run is completed, you can view the route and info at SportyPal.com by clicking on the county name.
Stay tuned for the date for your county and join Barbara for an invigorating, healthy alternative to politics as usual. All routes are TBD, so call or text (919) 475-2371 to find out where to meet. Tentative schedule below is subject to change.
