Write a Letter to the Editor

One effective way to keep an issue before your community is to write a letter to the editor (LTE) of your local newspaper or blog. You should also send copies of the letter to your elected officials. There are more than 40 newspapers published daily in North Carolina. And there are another 170 weekly publications that will take your letters.

To make it easy for you, we’ve created lists—sorted by county—so you can easily locate your local newspapers.

Our Story

In the spring of 1961, several women who were active members of the Democratic Party and active in Gov Terry Sanford’s 1960 campaign became interested in forming a statewide organization for Democratic Women. They started building the organization county by county, allowing each county to have one chapter. Thus the Democratic Women of North Carolina was organized with Doris Cromartie of Mecklenburg County serving as their first President.
