When a "Losing" Campaign Just Might be a Win for Democracy with Kate Barr

from SideBar: Optimism In Action - Conversations with Community Leaders Inspiring Positive Change · host SideBarMedia LLC

Kate Compton Barr is a trailblazing advocate for democracy who made waves as the 'Can't Win' candidate for the North Carolina State Senate in 2024. Her candidacy was never about winning. Instead, it was a platform to focus the community's conversation on the un-democratic effect of partisan gerrymandering. Kate's current campaign is equally unique. She is campaigning openly as a progressive running in the Republican primary for North Carolina's US House District 14 on a platform supporting fair maps that support democracy by reflecting the bipartisan demographics of her state.
