In just three days, Canton residents will have the opportunity to make a difference for the city of Canton. Elections for the two General Assembly seats up for election begin on October 16th. As you consider whether you will make the effort to vote or not, take a moment to reflect on the recent memorial service for assassinated Christian conservative Charlie Kirk.

In a heartfelt moment at Charlie Kirk’s memorial service, his wife, Erika Kirk, shared a potent message of forgiveness and resilience. Tearfully, she echoed the teachings of Jesus, stating, “On the cross, our Savior said, 'Father, forgive them for they know not what they do.’ That man. That young man. I forgive him.” This moving declaration honored her husband’s legacy and called upon all of us to embrace forgiveness while remaining steadfast in our opposition to the ideologies that threaten our values. It was a reminder that, while we grieve, we must also act.
This message is especially crucial for the citizens of Canton. The upcoming elections present a vital opportunity to honor Charlie Kirk's mission.
In just three days, we have a chance to steer our community away from socialist ideologies that threaten our values. To this end, it is essential to support Adam Hatton in his election to the Clyde General Assembly. He is an individual who is committed to upholding the principles Charlie fought for, and with your vote, he can make a difference.
Adam Hatton's Vision for Canton

Adam Hatton is our Republican candidate for Alderman in Canton. Adam is a small business man who owns and operates Hatton's Towing & Recovery in Canton. Adam is a graduate of Pisgah High School and Haywood Community College. He is a life long resident of Canton and is married to Holly Hatton.
Additionally, he is a strong supporter of traditional Republican conservative values and the “MAGA” movement, who actively opposes socialist initiatives that threaten the community's Constitutional Republic fabric.
Adam’s top priority is the safety and welfare of children. He advocates for strict measures to keep our youth safe, such as rescinding regulations that allow alcohol consumption on public streets. This measure aims not only to protect minors but also to reduce littering and improve the community's overall atmosphere.
To enhance public safety, Adam is committed to securing adequate funding for a well-trained police and fire department. His goal is to ensure that Canton residents feel secure in their homes and neighborhoods.
Additionally, he is focused on replacing the outdated city water system to meet both current demands and future needs effectively.
Furthermore, Adam aims to resolve the ongoing issues surrounding the Old Mill site efficiently. By planning for productive redevelopment, he hopes to stimulate local economic growth while considering community needs. His vision advocates for not just surviving but thriving, as he strives to help residents achieve the American Dream.
A Legacy of Commitment
Charlie Kirk committed his life to restoring America to its foundational values. His dedication serves as a call to action for all of us. Let’s honor his legacy by actively participating in the upcoming Canton municipal elections and then again in the 2026 Mid-Term elections.
As we advocate for action, we should also value the power of forgiveness. Erika Kirk’s message reminds us that forgiveness does not equate to forgetting; it means choosing to rise above hatred and division.
So, as we move forward, let us reaffirm our commitment to Charlie Kirk’s mission. We must unite to ensure our cities, counties, and states reflect the values our Founding Fathers envisioned. In just twenty-four days, we have a chance to make a significant impact in Canton. Let’s stand together in our pursuit of freedom, faith, family, and country.
The memorial service for Charlie Kirk was not merely a farewell; it was a rallying cry for all of us. As we remember Erika Kirk’s powerful message of forgiveness and commitment, let’s recognize that our actions today will shape the future of our community and our nation.
In the spirit of Charlie Kirk, let us rise to the challenge. Support Adam Hatton and all future candidates who share our values and actively engage in the political process. Together, we can honor his legacy while building a brighter future for our community.
