Pastor James Gailliard is the senior pastor at Word Tabernacle Church in Rocky Mount and a former state legislator.
On Thursday, Gailliard, a former state lawmaker in NC, participated in a Biden campaign event with other faith leaders, where he highlighted the stakes of this year’s presidential election and made the case for voting for Democrats.
“The reason we have to elect Democrats up and down the ballot, is because their policies, our policies, are the best to make sure as many people as possible can go very far,” Gailliard said.
