Davie County Enterprise Record · Raleigh, NC
Julia Howard has represented the people of her district since the 1980s, and she is heading back to Raleigh for at least two more years. The incumbent in District 77 for the North Carolina House successfully fended off a challenge from former Rowan-Salisbury School Board member Sabrina Harris. Howard took home 25,470 votes (70.79 percent) compared to Harris’ 10,511 votes (29.21 percent). Howard’s district-wide numbers roughly mirrored the Davie County turnout, where she received 12,509 votes (68.02 percent), and Harris received 5,882 (31.92 percent). Howard’s percentages were down this year compared to 2024, when she defeated Kashmir Sibby 79 percent to 21 percent. That push to the left was felt across the state, but unlike many of her Republican colleagues in the House, Howard was able to hold on for reelection. “I was shocked that the numbers were what they were,” she said on Thursday. “We knew that we were going to lose seats but not to the extent that we did.

Out · Durham, NC
Nearby: Durham, NCIn 2005, I was 24 years old, living in San Francisco, playing in a band, and beginning to realize that the thing that had once made me feel free was slowly becoming the thing that might destroy me. George W. Bush had just won a second term, the war in Iraq continued, and the political climate felt increasingly hostile to the queer communities that had given me a sense of purpose and belonging. San Francisco was a place of extraordinary queer history, culture, and possibility, and I was grateful to be part of it. But I was also navigating my own identity, carrying a great deal of unresolved fear and shame from my upbringing in the conservative South. Drinking had become a way to quiet some of that fear, even as it was beginning to take on a life of its own. I had spent years searching for freedom, and in many ways, I'd found it. What I hadn't figured out was how to feel comfortable in my own skin.
