Press release from Brian Turner campaign:
Asheville, N.C. – Rep. Brian Turner (D – Buncombe) files for re-election to continue representing House District 116 which includes most of western Buncombe County from Arden to Enka- Candler to Leicester.
“Buncombe County is a great place to live, and I have been honored to represent District 116 in the North Carolina General Assembly.” Turner said.
District 116 was in need of someone that would listen to the concerns of the people and businesses that are affected daily by the decisions made in Raleigh and Turner has worked to give voice to those concerns, and ensure the interests of this community have been fairly and honestly represented.
“I have made it my number one priority to provide constituent service to the people of District 116, and I continue to meet with business leaders, community leaders, and other individuals to discuss how the decisions made in Raleigh will impact our community.” said Brian Turner.
Rep. Turner has stayed true to his campaign promises to work in a bipartisan fashion to stand up for public education, support small businesses, and protect the environment.
“We need to be strengthening our schools, community colleges, and universities or we will no longer be competitive in attracting the kind of stable, well paying jobs this region was built on. While we need to attract new businesses we must not forget to invest in helping locally owned small businesses, and we must protect our mountains and rivers for future generations.” Turner said.
Turner is still concerned that Raleigh is not investing in the areas that will provide positive returns for North Carolina, which is why he is asking the voters of District 116 to allow him to continue to serve.
