It is time for every local Democrat’s favorite event: The Wilson County Democratic Party in conjunction with the Wilson County Democratic Women are hosting their Annual Chili Cook-Off! This event is our biggest fundraiser of the year, and in 2026, there is nothing hotter than being a Democrat! Meet your 2026 midterm candidates, taste the best pots of chili in town, and bid on unique silent and live auction items to support the work our party volunteers are doing!

Keynote Speaker: Dr. Michael Eric Dyson, one of the nation’s most renowned professors, gifted writers, inspiring preachers, knowledgeable lecturers, and prominent media personalities.
