Words From the Candidate

From Sunday, May 18

Dear Fellow Delegate,

As we come together this June to strengthen our great party, I’m reaching out with a heartfelt reminder to vote for me, Gay Dillard, for NCGOP Vice Chair on Saturday, June 7, at our NCGOP State Convention.

The Republican Party is a big tent where all conservatives are welcome. Our diverse experiences, skills, and backgrounds are vital to turning North Carolina into the deeply red state we know it can be. I firmly believe there is room for every Republican at the NCGOP family table to which includes ALL OF THE Affiliates.

I am committed to working side by side with each of you—from Murphy to Manteo—to support your efforts, strengthen your counties, and advance our shared mission: electing Republicans up and down the ballot.

I will have my sleeves rolled up and CONTINUE to work with YOU and for YOU. Your dedication to conservative principles and grassroots action inspires me every day. And together, there is no limit to what we can accomplish.

Thank you for all that you do—and thank you for your support. I look forward to serving as your next NCGOP Vice Chair.

In unity,
Gay Dillard

Candidate for NCGOP Vice Chair

From Sunday, May 11

Dear Fellow Delegate,

As we look ahead to 2026 and beyond, our mission as Republicans is clear: work together to continue to elect strong conservatives at every level—local, state, and federal. We must stand united behind President Trump, keep control of the U.S. House and Senate, and help restore the supermajority in the North Carolina General Assembly.

That’s why I’m asking for your support and your vote for me, Gay Dillard, for NCGOP Vice Chair at the State Convention this June 7th.

If elected, my focus will be on continuing to strengthen communication and coordination across every level of our Party—from the NCGOP to our Districts, Counties, and Precincts. I will continue to travel across the state, meeting with local party leaders, and offering hands-on assistance wherever needed. I want every County Party to feel heard, supported, and empowered to include the Associate Groups that are a very important part of the OUR State Party.

I bring a record of experience and grassroots leadership:

Former Precinct Chair, Finance Chair, and Convention Chair/Parliamentarian in Guilford County
Past District Chair for the 6th and 13th Congressional Districts
Poll worker and Statewide Poll Observer
6-year member of the NCGOP Central Committee
2020 Campaign Manager for Insurance Commissioner Mike Causey
Former President of Greater Greensboro Republican Women
Current Vice President, Central Region for NCFRW
Current member of the NFRW Corporate Fundraising Team

Beyond my political work, I am a proud mother of two, grandmother to four precious children, and wife to my wonderful husband. We live in Davie County with our three beloved poodles. My faith, family, and country are at the core of everything I do.

Together, we can build a stronger, more united NCGOP—and win elections up and down the ballot.

Thank you for your time, your dedication to our Party, and your vote.

With gratitude,
Gay Dillard
Candidate for Vice Chair, North Carolina Republican Party
