Five weeks out from perhaps the most pivotal election period in two decades, residents of Orange and Person counties are supporting a new candidate for the North Carolina Senate. They don’t support Ryan Hilliard, who possesses strong ties to Chapel Hill as well as extensive experience with small business, because he promises expansive services or tax incentives to large corporations. In fact, Mr. Hilliard’s style is just the opposite.
Voters support Ryan Hilliard because they have promises to keep of their own. A promise of choice impels action and Ryan Hilliard supports maximizing freedom for individuals.
Ryan Hilliard understands the everyday choices that build a stronger North Carolina are tough choices that keep North Carolinians working in the private sector. Hilliard has committed to putting control to create new job opportunities back in the hands of employers by passing the Healthcare Freedom Protection Act, which will keep employees on deck and employers in business. He also wants to put control of personal property back in the hands of North Carolinians by taking a strong stance on land-use issues, starting by voting for the Eminent Domain constitutional amendment. He also wants to promote competition and choice in education by eliminating the cap on charters schools.
Unlike our current state Senator, Ellie Kinnaird, Ryan Hilliard does not subscribe to the notion that government is the answer to all our problems. He affirms home-grown ingenuity by joining the charge when residents of the 23rd District make a promise to take back this community at the polls. Nov. 2. Early voting starts Oct. 14.
W. S. Wade
