Letter to the editor: Kathy Manning endorsement

In 1776, our founding fathers proclaimed as our national motto “E Pluribus Unum–Out of many, one.” I don’t know about you, but I find disturbing the divisive language and actions of our US Congress people. They are splitting us into polar opposite categories. Compromise as a guiding principle is lost

The election in November is crucial to identifying and electing candidates who will restore our founding fathers’ judgment. I am looking for someone who will listen to constituents and their ideas and concerns; someone who understands and has practiced compromise. Someone who will unite us.

That is why after much examination and evaluation I support KATHY MANNING for Congress in NC District 13.   Her goal is to connect us around shared priorities. Kathy is a pragmatic leader with a more than thirty-year track record of bringing people together to get things done. She’s the type of leader who listens, who puts others first. Kathy will speak with our concerns in Congress; she can’t and won’t be bought and sold by corporate special interests.

This election is a clear choice between the values on which our nation was founded and the dysfunction in Washington. Let’s choose someone who will make our founding fathers and our community proud.   Join me in uniting behind Kathy Manning.
