Small Business Owner Bryan Cohn Sets His Sights on NC House District 32

Source: Editorial Board

Promising sensible and forward-thinking leadership, small business owner and agricultural professional Bryan Cohn is running to represent Granville and Vance counties in the NC General Assembly.

Raised by his grandparents in Henderson, and now raising three children of his own with his wife in Oxford, Cohn knows the area as a lifelong home. 

Cohn’s background is in food safety, working on everything from manufacturing plant production to quality assurance. Cohn didn’t grow up with aspirations for public office, but after seeing the MAGA-led insurrection on January 6, he wanted to bring sensible, solutions-oriented leadership to government. 

Cohn ran and won a seat on the Oxford Board of Commissioners in 2021. He hit the ground running, working to bring affordable housing, infrastructure investments, local business development, and expansion of public green spaces to Oxford. He brought long-awaited water and sewer infrastructure replacement, zoning approval for over 5,000 new homes, and substantial pay increases for city employees, including police and firefighters.

Once elected to the General Assembly, Cohn has committed to putting workers and their families first. Increased wages, strong public education, and full reproductive freedom are central to his vision for North Carolina. Cohn is pro-union and a strong advocate for common-sense gun safety measures.

His opponent, Frank Sossamon, has used his term in the NC General Assembly to vote for a strict new abortion ban, removing background checks for domestic abusers looking to purchase a gun, and siphoning public tax dollars to unaccountable private schools.

As his opponent has waged culture wars, Cohn has committed to a change of pace: “I promise to work as hard for you as you do to support yourself and your family. I will listen to you and fight tirelessly to deliver for you, your family, and everyone across our communities.” 

Early voting begins on Oct. 17 and ends at 3 p.m. on Nov. 2. During the early voting period, you can register in person when you go to vote. ID is now required to vote in North Carolina, and you can view a list of approved IDs here.
