Went to the zoo with my daughter's class today and it was great. Saw the new Asia Exhibit they are planning to open in the fall.
The animals are there. But they have zero staff.
They have zero staff because North Carolina doesn't have a budget.

Pretty awesome experience today as I got to meet @kamalaharris.com along with countless other candidates and elected officials. A lot of hope and a lot of optimism as we push to flip as many seats as possible in November. #southey4senate #fundpublicschools #payteachersmore #passabudget
It’s National Pet Day and there are no shortage of wonderful pets in the Blanton Household.
No matter where you go in or out of our house, there will more than likely be a furry friend by your side.

Just wanted to share a quick announcement that another one of our classroom spotlights have been fully funded!
That now marks three classroom spotlights that since the beginning of our campaign have reached their goal.

NC Senate District 25 candidate southey blanton taking a selfie at his son's t-ball practice since if he had volunteered to coach while running a campaign his wife might have killed him.
Escher Bean ready to get on the field at t-ball.
Escher watching his teammates take turns at bat to end practice.
First official T-ball practice of the season.
Escher did great. He had fun and already is getting the hang of it. Even if he did refer to the bat as a “baseball club”.
But you gotta start somewhere. I think it’s going to be a fun season. #southey4senate #tball #putmeincoach

Happy Wednesday, 282 days, still no budget. This week’s classroom spotlight is Ms. Vargas’s class from Southern Middle. Donate to her classroom as they learn about the importance of bracelets to many South American cultures.

Part of being a parent is going through old photos on each and every holiday.
These are a few of my favorites from past Easters. Like the time our oldest fell in love with the Easter Bunny or the yearly egg dye mess.

Happy Easter image from nc sd candidate Southey Blanton with quote from lady bird Johnson that’s says where flowers bloom so does hope

Image of my son Beau gazing upon a herd of cows near Saxapahaw. Even the cows were pissed about the Leandro decision.
Image of Southey Blanton and his son Escher walking with their netwalking partner.
Had a fantastic time this afternoon at Saxapahaw NetWalking.
The boys and I were able to get some fresh air and see tons of wildlife.
But the best part was enjoying a conversation with a resident of NC Senate District 25.

Today was a day full of dad stuff, rallies, meetings, and conventions.
I know that every day of the campaign won’t be perfect but today was a pretty solid day and I’m excited to see what the rest of them hold.

It’s Wednesday, we still don’t have a state budget, so let’s spotlight another classroom while our elected leaders actually lower teacher pay. That’s right, average teacher pay has actually gone down because NC GOP leaders refuse to pass a state budget. #southey4senate #ncpol #ncga
Very proud to share that I've received an endorsement from the Network for Public Education Action. I'm here to fight for students, teachers, and staff at every public school in North Carolina. #southey4senate #ncpol #ncga #fundpublicschools
Members of the community including candidates for office, Southey Blanton and Sean Ewing and ABAE, with their petition regarding the EC Emergency that will be presented to the ABSS School Board at their budget hearing.
It was an honor to join members of the ABAE and other members of the community at the budget hearing for ABSS. I want to thank everyone who showed up and spoke. The ABSS board has put in a lot of work and every item in this budget request is desperately needed. #ncpol #ncga #southey4senate
Southey Blanton speaking to the congregation of Stoney Creek AME Church as they welcome new visitors to their Sunday service.
The sign out front of Stoney Creek AME church.
I want to extend my deepest gratitude to Stoney Creek AME Church for allowing me to attend their service today. Not only was I warmly welcomed but the sermon from Rev. Moss was truly inspiring.

Southey Blanton. Nc senate candidate for district 25 dressed almost identically to Steve from Minecraft, at least according to his youngest child.
Woke up, got dressed, and the first thing my 6 year old said to me was “Dada why are you dressed like Steve from Minecraft?”

Alamance Chamber of Commerce staff with Hazer Homes and other elected officials for a ribbon cutting.
View of newly built homes in Ossipee NC.
Attended a ribbon cutting this morning for the Pallini Place Subdivision.
More homes at affordable prices is great and it was also exciting to hear the mention that one of the best things about the new neighborhood were the public schools.

In honor of March Madness, sharing these two videos from both sides of the Duke/UNC rivalry. Imagine if everyone who cheered for Carolina and Duke supported public schools with the same energy. Jay Bilas says, pay teachers and support schools. #ncpol #nced #southey4senate
Happy first day of March Madness. You know what else is madness? NC Republicans want to put a vote on the November ballot to pass a constitutional amendment allowing the General Assembly to control property taxes in all 100 counties.

Happy shamrock reminding us that there is still no NC State Budget after 260 days.
Happy St. Patrick's day, perhaps our NC State Budget is at the end of a rainbow and that's why it is taking so long for the NC GOP to pass it?
Let's flip some seats and replace the party that doesn't do it's job this November.

Image of southey blanton, Nc senate district 25 candidate speaking to the alamance county board of commissioners
When legislators refuse to pass a state budget and the federal government slashes funding, it means local boards have to decide what to cut and by how much.
I showed up tonight to speak up for schools, libraries, and our local emergency services. #southey4senate #ncpol #ncga #NCSD25
Another classroom funded!
Last chance to donate and join our Southey 4 Senate Bracket Challenge!
And a quick introduction to sign language with a little help from our youngest!

Multiple drawings of various tornadoes on the living room floor of Southey Blanton, nc senate district 25 candidate
Our youngest heard there may be severe weather here tomorrow. Schools are closed, and his love for tornadoes has kicked into high gear. Hopefully these are the only tornadoes we see tomorrow.
