<div align="left" class="style7">It is with tremendous enthusiasm that I begin my candidacy for New Hanover County Commissioner. I believe I can offer fresh perspectives and solutions to the challenges we face as we balance economic, environmental and quality of life issues. I would welcome and appreciate the support of my friends and neighbors in this special place we call home.</div>
<p align="left" class="style7">As evidenced by almost two decades of public service at the state and local level, I feel compelled to try to make a difference whenever I can. I look forward to the opportunity to serve the citizens of New Hanover County as their new County Commissioner. <br>
