Both Roy Carter and Diane Hamby,
rival candidates in the May 6 Democratic primary for the Fifth District
Congressional race, will be featured speakers at the March 26
Democratic Women’s Club luncheon at the Broyhill Inn &
Conference Center.
The winner in the May primary will be on the general election ballot in November challenging incumbent Republican Virginia Foxx.
Carter recently retired from coaching high school football in Wilkes
County and is a Christmas tree farmer in Ashe County. He is a native of
the western North Carolina mountains and has taught and coached in
several mountain towns. He is married and has three adult children and
two grandchildren.
Hamby was an Iredell County Commissioner, the last Democrat elected to
that board since the mid-1990s. She has held many offices in the
Iredell County Democratic Party, including county chair. She is
currently a partner in D & T Painting Co.
The Democratic Women’s Club will gather at 11:30 a.m. on March 26
for a dutch-treat luncheon, to be followed by the two speakers at noon.
All Democratic women and men are welcomed, along with their guests.
Reservations are strongly suggested so that adequate seating can be
