In this powerful installment of the Candidates Forum Series on All Rights Reserved with Yolanda Taylor, “The People’s Attorney” sits down with Deborah Joyner Battle, candidate for Nash County Commissioner – District 2.From humble beginnings in rural Eastern North Carolina to 45 years of grassroots advocacy, Battle shares why she believes this moment is bigger than politics — it’s about stewardship, representation, and protecting the voting power of Black communities in Nash County.

This episode tackles:

- The real role of a county commissioner — and why it matters

- Affordable housing, rising rent, and economic instability

- Political gerrymandering and the dilution of Black voting power

- Job loss, industry downsizing, and economic development

- Disaster recovery, mental health, and neglected communities

- Social media attacks, misinformation, and political accountability

- Why she plans to serve one term — and mentor the next generation.

Battle makes it clear: “The seat doesn’t belong to the individual. It belongs to the people.”

If you care about housing, jobs, representation, and local power — this conversation connects the dots between your daily life and your ballot. Democracy has no extension policy.
