Patsy Keever pledges to run clean campaign,
Invites primary opponents to join her
ASHEVILLE, NC—Today Patsy Keever signed a Clean Campaign Pledge and asked all the Democratic candidates in the race for the U.S. House of Representatives in North Carolina’s 10th Congressional District to join her.
“I think voters are tired of mudslinging and attack ads,” said Patsy Keever. “While I don’t believe my opponents in this race would participate in such despicable tactics, the Clean Campaign Pledge gives all of us an opportunity to promise that we will talk about the issues.”
The entire Clean Campaign Pledge is available for download (http://www.mountainx.com/images/blogimages/Clean_Campaign_Pledge.pdf) and here is an excerpt:
As Democratic primary candidates for the U.S. House of Representatives in North Carolina’s 10th Congressional District, we hereby agree that the people of this district deserve a positive campaign.
