LARRY HOLMQUIST (R)

GREG BRANNON (R)

KEN BOHAM (R)

  • Official website –
  • Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100010883983262
  • Twitter –
  • President of Caldwell Community College and Technical Institute
  • Sarcastic. Says he’s Pro-Life and then jokes that he’s Pro-Choice from the podium often. I’m not sure how to take Dr. Boham’s political positions?  He says he is very conservative, but admitted he didn’t know what Sharia Law was. Claims to listen to Rush Limbaugh, but still sorta supports Common Core when discussing the details.

NC HOUSE 

DESTIN HALL (R)

GEORGE ROBINSON (R)

  • Official web –
  • Facebook –
  • Twitter –
  • George Robinson is one of the longest serving House members in Raleigh. He voted for the bill the allowed the state political parties to pull all support from their chairman and divert the money into PAC’s the political elites control. He voted for the Connect NC referendum and thought it contained almost half a billion dollars for NC roads.

CALDWELL COUNTY COMMISSION 

BEN GRIFFIN (R)

JEB BUSH (R) —- OUT OF THE RACE

  • Official website – Jeb2016.com  (Really, his last name isn’t here either???)
  • facebook – facebook.com/jebbush
  • twitter – @JebBush
  • 6/2015: He is hoping we will all forget his last name is Bush, but that doesn’t change the fact that it is Bush. We don’t need a third Bush in the Whitehouse in 30 years. Sorry, Jeb, but no thanks.  Many Americans are moving along.
  • Wrong on illegal immigration.
  • Wrong on Common Core.
  • 1/8/16: Jeb is now using his last name. It is speculated he is because he is polling so low.
