To those who honored my campaign with your vote, and

To those of you who visited my campaign website during the Primary Election Campaign, and

To those who hosted my campaign speeches:




As the polls have shown, our campaign was not as successful as we had wished, but 90,000+ voters got our message and voiced their messages to the winners of the election – John Tedesco and Richard Lawrence – who will be a run-off in a few months for the right take on Dr. Atkinson in November.

I wish both of them a strong run-off and my congratulations for a fine showing.

As I close out this campaign, I also wish to task each of you with reviewing these two fine Republican candidates, find one you can support, send your support – $$$ -  elections are not free to either candidate – then VOTE in the run-off.

Thanks to each of you, I truly enjoyed meeting and talking to over 3,000 of you directly. I enjoy the tour of our great state, and of course I enjoyed sampling God's food - NC BBQ!

Now I move into my post campaign period - cleaning up my campaign books, closing out my campaign accounts, and filing my final reports. And Yes I will also be getting back to cutting the grass and my “Honey Do Lists”.
