D10 Volunteer Spotlight:
Kristen Whisenant
from Catawba County
By Ben Devine, Chair
Catawba County GOP
Kristen Whisenant has been married to her husband, Jerry, for nine years. Together, they have five children.
She first registered as a Republican at age eighteen and has consistently voted along party lines ever since. In 2020, she became more engaged in politics because of concerns about COVID-19's impact on our rights, especially those of school-aged children.
This led her to join the Mama Bears of Catawba County and attend school board meetings. Additionally, she began attending other conservative groups across the region, including the Catawba County Republican Party.
Over the past two election cycles, she has been active in campaigning at the polls, working to flip our school board to conservative Republicans, which
we successfully achieved. Throughout this experience, she has come to realize the importance of local election involvement in shaping the future for our children and future generations.
Her experience with the Catawba County Republican Party includes being a former precinct chair and currently serving as the secretary of the county party.

District 10 Executive Committee has two leadership vacancies to fill
Jim Mosier
Jim Mosier, 10th District 2nd Vice-Chair, resigned from his position last month, due to unexpected family matters and prior commitments that require his attention. Jim’s resignation creates a second vacancy that must be filled by the 10th District Executive Committee during its next meeting.
According to NCGOP Executive Director, Matt Judge, the positions of 2nd Vice Chair and assistant treasurer, must be filled by a vote of the members of the 10th District Executive Committee.
“It would be the entire 10th District Executive Committee unless your District Plan of Organization says otherwise,” Judge said in an email.
“The Plan in Article 5 Section (A)(5) (PG.13) provides for the filling of vacancies in Congressional District Executive Committees. Big picture: the Executive Committee needs to form a quorum, which is 25% of the Executive Committee. There needs to be a 10-day notice to the Executive Committee Members. And any member of the current Executive Committee may make nominations. The Executive Committee shall then conduct a vote by majority. The "winner" must receive more than 50% of the vote; if not, a runoff vote shall be conducted with the top 2 vote recipients.”
The next executive committee is tentatively scheduled for September with the time, place, and location to be determined.
