The Black Mountain Democrats invite you to join us on Monday, February 9, three days before early voting begins, for a forum featuring candidates vying for the Democratic nomination in North Carolina's 11th Congressional district.

All five candidates--Jamie Ager, Zelda Briarwood, Richard Hudspeth, Paul Maddox, and Lee Whipple--have been invited to participate. The moderator will be Tom Fiedler, politics reporter for Asheville Watchdog.

Who should attend: All area residents are welcome, but especially those eligible to vote in the Democratic primary. That includes both registered Democrats and unaffiliated voters.
