Buncombe needs Patsy Keever representing us in Raleigh

Posted on by Steven Sarnie

Patsy Keever spent 25 years in Asheville schools teaching many of the people reading this letter — and another 12 years serving on the Buncombe County Board of Commissioners.

Whether running for Congress or running a triathlon, Patsy doesn't stop, even to retire. Now with North Carolina's economy faltering, mountainsides sliding and Buncombe neighbors struggling to find work, Patsy is running for the state House of Representatives. Running for office is more than a full-time job, and not most people's idea of a good time — unless, of course, serving your community is what you do. Buncombe needs Patsy Keever representing us in Raleigh, putting jobs, education and people first. Patsy has my support and has earned yours.

    Sorry, but Patsy Keever hasn’t earned my support. She’s been sitting on her hands in the political arena since she lost to Charles Taylor in 04. Bruce Goforth has done a good job (even Patsy said so, as reported right here in the Mountain Xpress). Therefore, he has earned our support.
