My continued support of economic development, education, controlled spending, transparent government, along with my experiences as President of NCACC, which principal responsibility is to serve as lead advocate on legislative issues will allow me the opportunity to be an effective legislator for the people of the District. “As Chairman of the National Association of Counties Rural Action Caucus, I understand the needs of our two rural counties with respect for the need of infrastructure, broadband, job growth, support of our substantial Agricultural community and how these correlate with strong Legislative support. With every decision made, I promise to put the citizens first and work hard to improve and promote Person and Granville counties. State Rep. W. A.
