Mary Fant Donnan

It's sad but true: It's money time for the fall campaigns. A key reporting deadline is this Monday, June 30.

Hey folks--I'm a long-time reader around here, though this is my first post on BlueNC.

I'm breaking my silence to ask that you PLEASE vote on Tuesday (June 24th) in the Democratic run-off for NC Commissioner of Labor.

I encourage you to vote for my friend Mary Fant Donnan. Mary is an incredibly knowledgeable, passionate, and talented leader who I believe would excel as head of the Department of Labor.

Mary joined this community last week for a live chat. If you have any doubts before heading to the polls, please read her thoughtful answers to the questions posed by BlueNC readers.

Updated by James: Election results here.

Please join us tonight, June 18 at 7:00 p.m. for a one hour live-blog chat with Mary Fant Donnan. Mary won the primary election, however did not break the 40% threshold to prevent a runoff.

Mary joined us last week for our monthly Democratic Women's meeting here in Union County. We had an opportunity to hear Mary speak about her priorities and her passion for the work she will do as Labor Commissioner. I'm so happy I had a chance to listen to Mary and hear what she had to say outside the normal 3-5 minutes most candidates have at forums featuring a large number of speakers. She was gracious enough to agree to stop by to visit with us prior to the convention and the June 24 runoff election.

Hi folks! I wanted to take a moment to say hello and to thank Betsy and James for organizing a live blog on Wednesday (June 18th) at 7pm. Thank you also to the BlueNC community for your interest in the Labor Commissioner's race. I'm excited to exchange ideas with all of you on Wednesday, and I welcome your questions.

As many of you know, I'm running for N.C. Commissioner of Labor. Thanks to all of you who took an early interest in this race, including those of you who worked hard for Robin Anderson. Robin was a strong candidate, and I respect her immensely. I'm honored to have her support moving forward.
