Clayton Anderson, 25, is looking to use her position to highlight the party’s need to appeal to voters like her — young and from rural parts of North Carolina.
“I really did not expect to come into a room this full,” Clayton said, prompting laughter from the crowd of more than 80 Democrats. “I get my energy from people, and I have got an overwhelming amount of it right now, to be honest.”
Clayton was elected chair in February. She said she decided to run for party chair in December after talking with county party chairs and young leaders across the state. She challenged the incumbent chair, 73-year-old Bobbie Richardson, who had been endorsed by Gov. Roy Cooper and the rest of the state’s Democratic establishment.
“We’ve got a fired up grass roots, and we know how to organize them,” Felts said. “Democrats, they have been ignoring grass roots for basically six years now.” “I got told a lot growing up, ‘You’ve got too big of ideas to be in Person County for the rest of your life, Anderson. You need to go somewhere else and do something different with it,’” she said.
