With the reversal of Roe v. Wade by the Supreme Court this year, states now have the right to enact legislation that restricts access to legal abortion.
On Nov. 8, voters in state House District 25 will elect a representative who will soon be put to the test regarding issues affecting abortion rights and the rights of the unborn.
The choices for voters in state House District 25 are state Rep. James Gailliard, D-Nash, and Republican Allen Chesser, 37, a caucus chairman in the state Republican Party.
Gailliard, 57, is senior pastor of Word Tabernacle Church. He is married and is the father of five children. He was elected in 2018 and won re-election in 2020.
