Beverly Coble’s Attempt to Silence Critics Mirrors Democrat Politics and Disregards Free Speech

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Dec 31, 2024

Randleman, NC — Mayoral candidate Beverly Coble attempted to silence AnybodyButCoble.org by filing a restraining order against founder Clayton Ballentine, aiming to stop the publication of public records detailing her numerous complaints against neighbors and local businesses. The order was immediately denied, with a hearing set for February 6, 2025 to review the matter further.

This desperate legal action, reminiscent of tactics used against President-Elect Trump, raises concerns about Ms. Coble’s respect for the First Amendment. Her actions align with her voting record, as she supported Democrat candidates in 2008 and 2012—years that shaped policies and tactics Randleman residents have rejected.

“Beverly Coble is acting exactly the way she voted,” said Ballentine. “Weaponizing the legal system to silence critics reflects the same disregard for transparency and accountability she’s shown throughout her life. We will not back down in the face of threats or legal actions. Randleman voters deserve better.”

AnybodyButCoble.org will continue its mission of providing factual, publicly accessible information to voters as Randleman approaches its mayoral election.
