Endorsement Letter: Vote for Hilliard

Posted on October 21, 2010 by Staff

As a UNC graduate and a concerned resident of Chapel Hill, I believe it is time for change in our state Senate. We have lacked elected officials who limit government properly for too long, and now the consequences have taken shape. The result is high taxes and excessive spending leading to the loss of jobs and resources to tackle the important issues we face. State government has dramatically increased both taxes and spending over the past decade with little or no tangible results. What we need now is an elected representative who believes in common-sense principles and who will work to find real solutions to problems rather than continuing failed ideas of the past.

Ryan Hilliard is running to replace entrenched incumbent Ellie Kinnaird in the N.C. Senate. He will work for the people rather than bigger government or theoretical solutions that don’t work in the real world. I support Ryan not only because he is my husband but because he is a principled leader who believes in the liberty and freedom that make North Carolina and the USA a wonderful place to live. He is passionate about reforming government, experienced in the private sector and capable of tackling the tough problems that North Carolina faces.

We need new voices with new ideas like Ryan to represent “we the people” in Orange and Person counties. As one who believes strongly that increased freedom fosters increased opportunity for all people, I urge you to utilize both by voting in this election for Ryan A. Hilliard for N.C. Senate. He is the voice we need to fight for common sense in state government and get us back on track.
