Williamston

We were also told media would not be allowed to attend her recent campaign rally in Nashville that she advertised publicly.

Davis, however, spoke with me about his record and his campaign after an event in Williamston, where he celebrated a new ladder truck purchase with federal funding he helped secure.

Congressman Don Davis is a Democrat in his second term representing North Carolina's first district.

He's a native of Greene County who previously served in the state senate and in the Air Force.

Congressman Davis, thanks so much for speaking with me.

Uh, thank you so much, Colin.

So we're, we're in Williamston today, where they're, uh, adding a new fire truck to the fleet thanks to some federal funding.

Uh, but also there have been efforts recently to reopen Martin General Hospital for emergency room care.

As they say in Texas, that's a horse of a different color.

But if you pretty much remove our five main cities, the big cities, that's gonna be your Asheville, Charlotte's, Greensboro, Raleigh, and then you go down to Wilmington area, Greenville's coming on, they're gonna be right there very soon, but if you go out and you try to drive from just say Williamston and you wanna get to the Virginia border, go see some rural North Carolina.

There it is r- that's as rural th- in the United States as it gets right there.

Always say in that part of the state, when you drive and you lose cell service, drive 10 more miles-
