Many in the political landscape are like tumbleweeds, blown by the prevailing winds of current opinion.
I want to endorse a candidate for Buncombe County school board who is solid as an oak — Max Queen.
He is rooted in conservative convictions. His roots are in these mountains. He grew up here, went to school here, worked here and has a love for this place. His roots are in education, having served and retired from the administration at A-B Tech.
He knows about learning and wants to enhance the quality of our public schools.
I trust him because I have known him for nearly 20 years. He serves as business administrator in our church, Pole Creek Baptist in Candler.
I know him well. I am his pastor. He will do a solid job!
