Toby Hampson

But they did it yesterday because they know the importance of it.

And we had Judge Toby Hampson, who's running for our North Carolina Court of Appeals out there with us, making sure that he's showcasing the importance of students this year in the, in the midterm election.

You know, when I first saw the video of those students marching to the polls, a ch- a chill, a wonderful chill went through me.

Uh, the, the, the young folks are, are paying attention.

But if you have to choose, we recommend the Democrat.

And then there's incumbent Democrat Toby Hampson facing Republican George Bell.

And they endorsed the Democrat on that one.

Surprise, surprise.

We've also got in North Carolina our Supreme Court Justice Anita Earls running again.

And then we have three statewide district court of appeals, and that's going to be John Arrowood, Toby Hampson.

They're both running for reelection.

And then Christine Walzak, if you haven't heard her name yet, I hope you will check her out because she is a very dynamic speaker.

And it touches on things that a lot of people don't realize, but Justice Earls is absolutely incredible.

We need to keep her there and our three statewide, uh, court of appeals judges, Toby Hampson, who ruled in, uh, that, that Allison Riggs case, uh, John Arrowood, and, uh, we gotta put Christine Wallsick on there as well.

And I'll say this, uh, to, to close that part out, um, when we have these judges, this t- this is how we get justice in terms of redistricting-

Yeah

We need to keep her there and our three statewide...

Court of Appeals judges, Toby Hampson, who ruled in that Allison Riggs case, John Arrowood, and we got to put Christine Walzik on there as well.

And I'll say this to close that part out.

When we have these judges, this is how we get justice in terms of redistricting and Right.

Finally, to elections, as campaigns are ramping up with the twenty twenty-six midterm just a little more than a month away.

This Sunday, October fourth, a group of predominantly Black sororities are hosting a panel of judges to discuss the judicial system and its impact on our everyday lives, featuring local judges Joel Brown and Allison Grine, plus Dorothy Hairston-Mitchell from Durham County, State Court of Appeals Judge Toby Hampson, and former Court of Appeals Judge Chris Brook.

Orange County Commissioner Ronnie Dawsey is one of the organizers.

As we talk about the elections more broadly, part of it is understanding information and how do we get engaged in what's happening ahead of election season.
