2026 Clay County Democratic Convention

Join us Saturday, March 21st for the 2026 Clay County Democratic Convention at Hayesville High Cafeteria.  This is a potluck gathering, and we warmly invite you to bring a favorite dish, dessert, or drink to share if you’re able. Your contribution helps make the event even more enjoyable and brings our community together — but most importantly, we’re excited to have you join us!

Our Keynote Speaker is Caleb “Coach” Brown who is our 2026 Democratic Candidate for our NC State House Representative seat NC District 120.  Caleb Brown brings a lifetime of service and leadership to the race.  A teacher and coach, Caleb works every day to support and mentor young people, and as a 2nd Lieutenant in the North Carolina Army National Guard, he continues his commitment to serving our state and nation. Caleb lives in Highlands, North Carolina with his wife, daughter, and their two dogs. His campaign is focused on the issues that matter most to our families: strengthening public education, protecting household finances, and expanding access to quality, affordable healthcare.

With regard to the business to be conducted, no officer elections are required this year. However, we will be selecting delegates to represent us at the District and State Democratic Conventions.
