UPDATE 1-9-24:
N.C. gubernatorial candidate Josh Stein’s scheduled visit to Henderson this afternoon has been postponed because of the threat of severe weather forecast for later today.
Vance County Democratic Chairperson Angela Thornton told WIZS News earlier Tuesday.
“We look forward to coordinating with his campaign for a rescheduled date,” Thornton said in a written statement to WIZS.
Stein is the current state attorney general.

Blue may be the dominant color at next week’s meet and greet for one of the Democratic candidates for governor, but local party officials invite the entire community to Perry Memorial Library on Tuesday, Jan. 9 – no matter their party preference.
Joseph Brodie, first vice president of the Vance County Democratic Party, said Thursday that current N.C. Attorney General and gubernatorial hopeful Josh Stein will be in Henderson to meet voters and discuss the upcoming elections.
“All the public is invited to come down if they want to hear what Attorney General Josh Stein is going to be putting on the table,” Brodie said on Thursday’s TownTalk. “They can hear it for themselves.”
The doors open at 5 p.m. and the event begins at 5:30 p.m. Brodie said this visit does not constitute an endorsement by local party leaders. “We have the door open for all our Democratic candidates to come down and introduce themselves to the voters of Vance County,” he explained.
With the March primary elections fast approaching, Brodie said he is pleased with the progress that is being made within the local Democratic Party.
“I feel real good,” he said. “The Vance County Democratic Party has come a long way…people are in place, working together for one common cause – to elect Democrats, not only in Vance County, but in surrounding areas.”
Brodie said the focus now is in organizing the local precincts so that voters can get important information concerning candidates and races.
“We’re always striving for excellence,” Brodie noted, adding that more work needs to be done.
