Jan 9  Written By  Tim Wigginton As news broke that for the first time  in North Carolina history, Republican voter registration exceeded Democrats, a liberal group highlighted its efforts to support liberal candidates in Republican primaries. The so-called grassroots group, NC Educators on the Ballot, successfully recruited six liberals to run in Republican primaries in competitive House seats. The group claims that it wants to increase conversation about public education, but in reality, the goal is to drain resources in a primary ahead of a competitive general election.     Here  are the six candidates, districts, and their key stances on issues important to Republican primary voters. The candidates switched party affiliation ahead of the 90 day cut off before candidate filing.   Dr. Christopher Wilson, House District 117 in Henderson County.  He switched his voter registration in August from unaffiliated to Republican.   Wilson opposes  President Trump’s effort to remove illegal aliens from the United States, and claims  there is “zero” indoctrination in North Carolina public schools, despite the evidence . Wilson says  the overall history of the United States is “very dark.”   Lisa Deaton Koperski, House District 89 in Catawba & Iredell Counties Koperski switched her voter registration in August.  She said  that school choice programs represent a “systematic problem.”   Michele Joyner-Dinwiddie, House District 35in Wake County Joyner-Dinwiddie switched her voter registration from Democrat in August and attacked  President Trump’s agenda to improve education by returning power to the states.   Pamela Ayscue, House District 32 in Vance County  Ayscue changed her party affiliation from Democrat to Republican this September.   Ayscue opposes  school choice programs and judicial appropriation that would lead to higher taxes. In a telling move, Ayscue regularly shares videos from Democrat Governor Josh Stein, Democrat Attorney General Jeff Jackson , and liberal dark money groups on her campaign page for a Republican primary.   Pamela M. Zanni, House District 81 in Davidson County  Zanni switched from unaffiliated to Republican last August.   Unlike a Republican, but like an online liberal, Zanni compared  President Trump to Putin. And during the 2024 election, Zanni said , “Those that think Kamala isn’t quality or a isn’t a better choice…. What flavor koolaid was it?”   Kelly Van Horn, House District 105 in Mecklenburg County. VanHorn switched her registration last September.   On her campaign website, she touts her work  with far left teacher unions, which are key component of the Democrat campaign machine.     Tim’s Take : It makes sense that as the North Carolina Democrat Party continues to shrink, liberal-leaning voters will begin to run in Republican primaries, since there is a better chance that they may actually be elected. But at the core, it’s fundamentally dishonest. Changing partisan affiliation to try to trick voters is dishonest.  . Grassroots North Carolina is posting the same warning. These imposters are anti-gunners. http://archive.e.grnc.org/csb/Public/show/gr9g-cjqdd--3eu1wn-swpqd05

The author of 16 books, four of which achieved national bestseller status, in the past 10 years, Don has fought on the front lines of the battle for freedom, working as an author, a constitutional lawyer, and a former United States Navy JAG officer. Don has battled leftist tyranny on four separate national fronts, including: Battling for America’s fighting men and women against the democrats’ woke and liberal Rules of Engagement that got Americans killed;  Fighting election fraud from the 2020 national presidential election, serving on three separate legal teams seeking to expose the truth of what clearly appears to be a stolen election; Battling unconstitutional vaccination and mask mandates, where Don brought federal litigation for 78 Americans to block Biden’s unconstitutional vaccination mandates, and Serving as an outspoken advocate and attorney on behalf of January 6 Patriots, whom the left tried to destroy with a massive, vicious, unconstitutional prosecutorial scheme.    Don is one of only a small handful of constitutional lawyers in the country who has received not one but two presidential pardons for patriot clients from President Donald J. Trump, with both clients, Army Lieutenant Clint Lorance and J-6 Patriot Elliot Bishay, being targeted by democrat political prosecutions. Don has advised other J-6 political prisoners as well, helping them to restore their lives in the wake of the democrats’ illegal and unconstitutional fedsurrection.   Don’s 2015 military exposé, CALL SIGN EXTORTION 17: The Shootdown of SEAL Team Six, exposed the shoot-down of a Chinook helicopter in Afghanistan in 2011, killing 30 Americans, including 17 members of Seal Team Six. The book attacked the Obama Administration’s suicidal rules of engagement in Afghanistan. It served as a basis for the 2021 docu-drama movie FALLEN ANGEL: Extortion 17, released by Salem Media. Don appears in the film alongside Sean Hannity, Lieutenant General Jerry Boykin, and Secretary of War Pete Hegseth. Fallen Angel: Call Sign Extortion 17 the movie. Don has made numerous national media appearances on outlets such as Fox News, the Sean Hannity Show, Fox and Friends, Real Americas Voice, One America News, has appeared as a keynote speaker at the Ronald Reagan and Richard Nixon Presidential Libraries, and has written dozens of conservative editorials, on websites such as Fox News, The Washington Times, the New York Post, The Federalist, the Blaze, American Thinker, and others. https://www.youtube.com/@donbrownfornc   In February 2025, Don authorized his campaign team to file paperwork with the FEC to prepare for entering the race for the 2026 Republican nomination for the United States Senate from North Carolina.
