Carteret County

I'm down to the beach for a little first round of the high school football state playoffs.

Carteret County.

We and E.

the home of Macy O'Donnell, we found out yesterday, as East Carteret.

And I guess from that perspective, you would say, yes, it did because Don Davis won.

But if you do look at the districts or the counties that were put into the first district, you have Beaufort County, Carteret County, Craven County, Dare County.

Hyde County, Pamlico County.

Lori Buckout won all of those counties.

Look, yesterday in North Carolina, for instance, Wake County's early voting centers were still open.

But if you were to go to some of the reddest areas in North Carolina, like Carteret County or Craven County, you would not have found an early voting station open.

So this is imbalance.

And they go on and say, well, it's resources, and we're doing it because the population is larger in some of these areas.

Hospitals and health systems are expanding facilities and services to make sure communities, they have access to care as their populations grow.

Carteret Healthcare, for example, is building a new freestanding emergency department in western Carteret County.

It brings emergency care closer to residents in a rapidly growing part of the county.

And then we think about First Health of the Carolinas investing $43.2 million to replace an aging Montgomery Memorial Hospital in Troy with a new facility that will provide more modern space and greater capacity for the community.

I think definitely she will win.

Morehead City is in Carteret County.

Trump won 71% here two years ago.

Local Democrats, though, insist that even here, the midterm mood is change.
