A candidate with integrity is a candidate I can support

Posted on by Wendy Owen

I am writing to endorse Terry VanDuyn for Buncombe County commissioner. In these tough times with our politicians, at all levels, more concerned about their jobs than their constituents, it's comforting and surprising to find a candidate who doesn't have a "dog in the fight."

Her 20-plus years experience in the technology sector gives her an advantage to understand what it takes to speak the language of prospective corporations and small businesses considering locating to Buncombe County.

Jobs for Buncombe County, education and protecting our rural heritage are the most important issues for Terry. I believe she will be the voice of reason and will listen to her constituents and do her best to represent every resident. A candidate with integrity is a candidate I can support.

Please vote for Terry VanDuyn in the May 8 primary and help us get her elected.
