About M.O.M.

Let's Unite Behind Three Leaders
for Asheville's Future

Buncombe County's motto is “People to Match Our Mountains”. Our political action committee draws its name from this motto because we are dedicated to electing people who will provide strong leadership for our community's future. We believe these three candidates will offer that leadership for Asheville City Council. Great selection of water cooler do you have one yet?

A contribution to Match Our Mountains sends a message to these candidates and the community that you believe in balancing strong economic development with protection of our environment, in addition to expanding affordable housing and rebuilding public services (read more about our issues, below). M.O.M. limits contributions to $100 per person and has a goal of enlisting many, many givers. It's also helpful to donate directly to the candidates campaigns (click on their name below their photo for more information). So what are the ways that you can reverse phone benefit by a lookup service?.

Money is currently a big part of politics and we want our candidates to be the strongest contenders. It takes each of us giving a little to add up to a lot!

Remember, M.O.M.'s special interest is the public interest. Thank you.
