Gurley: We are just getting started…

Tony Gurley released the following statement regarding the May 8 primary results:
 

“I would like to congratulate all candidates who ran for Lieutenant Governor. I will be filing for the runoff election to be held in July because North Carolina needs a businessman in office, not an aspiring career politician. I will continue to run on my record of cutting spending, making government transparent and protecting traditional marriage. I have not been running for office for the last two years, but I have been working. I will use my small business experience to bring economic prosperity back to North Carolina.”

Margiotta endorses Tony Gurley

I am reaching out to you in support of my friend, Tony Gurley. I have known Tony for the past 10 years and feel compelled to speak out in support of his election as Lt. Governor.  Tony has always put people above his personal ambitions and is the most “non-political” politician I have known.

I have the utmost respect for his integrity and solid work ethic. During my years as Chairman of the Wake County School Board, Tony and I rebuilt a strong relationship to benefit the students of Wake County and the community as a whole. As Chairman of the County Commissioners, Tony worked tirelessly to listen to and address the concerns from parents as it related to our school system. His dedication and commitment to serve is unyielding and he is recognized for his strong representation. As a former race car driver, Tony certainly has a competitive nature which has benefited all of us in Wake County.

We need Tony in the Lt. Governor’s position where he can provide more services for more people.

Please vote for Tony Gurley on May 8th.

Best,
Ron Margiotta

Gurley expresses support for naming of justice center after Senator Helms

RALEIGH (WTVD) — A Wake County commissioner would like officials to name Raleigh’s new justice center after the late Republican senator Jesse Helms.

The 500,000 square foot center isn’t slated to open until 2013, but controversy is already brewing over its name. At least one other member of the Republican-led board has expressed for naming the building after Helms, but not everyone is in agreement.
