As a candidate for this office, I pledged to give working families a voice in the Governor's Office. Change is part of a new administration. Great governors, such as Terry Sanford and Jim Hunt, recognized the need for change, the need to move beyond the status quo, the need to improve and to aim higher. We must now embrace change and use it as a vehicle for progress. We must not forget that North Carolina is at its very best when we gather new energy, new talent, and new ideas.
Every citizen is important, and everyone can contribute.
We must take the dreams of our children, our working men and women, and our seniors and embrace them as our own.
