Rod Powell has been a faithful volunteer in our community for several years, including his service with Washington Outreach Ministry. I have seen his commitment to helping people firsthand. Rod is a retired teacher, a steady community leader, and someone who listens, shows up, and works for everyday people in Cleveland County.

Edna Ramseur Davis
Community Leader, Kingstown, NC
I am proud to personally endorse Rod Powell for NC Senate District 44.
Rod shows up. He cares about people in Upper Cleveland County, including folks who are working hard but still having trouble with food, bills, and everyday needs.
I have seen Rod’s heart for people through his community work. He understands that helping even a few people matters. He sees the work. He respects the people doing it. Most of all, Rod understands that small communities like Kingstown, Lawndale, Casar, and the rest of Upper Cleveland County deserve to be seen and heard.
I believe Rod Powell will work hard for regular people in Senate District 44.
