Meet the carfdate: ttlhe N.C. gybemafoiriial race
Crawford counts on support of working people
By LAURA MAYFIELD
Staff Writer
North Carolina needs a governor
who is concerned with the state's
working people, not a politician who
is preoccupied with his record, says
Democratic gubernatorial candidate
Carroll Crawford.
"It's going to take everyone work
ing together to stop the politicians
from bleeding us dry," Crawford said.
Crawford, a Mt. Ulla mechanic,
served for two years as grand dragon
of the N.C. Christian Knights of the
Ku Klux Klan. "The U.S. govern
ment is basically the same as the
Christian Knights," he said.
Crawford's campaign hinges on
support from the working people,
both black and white. In fact, he said,
blacks can form the majority of his
constituency as they dominate the
w orking class.
"The blacks know me and know
that I'm fair," he said.
N.C. Elections
His involvement with the Klan will
not be an issue in his campaign,
Crawford said, although he is not
ashamed of it.
"I had to get my name known
throughout North Carolina. It was
really a two-year campaign. We never
hurt anyone. Any rights we accomp
lished are for anyone. We just wanted
to prove whites have freedom of
assembly, press and speech too," he
said.
Crawford would work for disci
pline in state institutions such as
schools and prisons. He would also
instigate a work program requiring
welfare recipients to work for the
state.
"It (the work program) would
entice them to go to work, so
taxpayers could get something back
out of the system. We need to set
the cons to work," he said.
Support programs for the sick and
elderly are also necessary, as are
changes in insurance and state ref
erendum policies, he said.
His chances of defeating Lt. Gov.
Bob Jordan and the other guberna
torial candidates in the May 3
primary are good, Crawford said. "I
have a 90 percent chance that is,
the 90 percent interested in change."
Voters will support Crawford
because they know him and know he
represents them, he said.
"If I can't win on my own record
I don't need to win. If you must spend
$1 million buying votes, do you
deserve to win?
"I don't know whether these pol
iticians have had more experience.
We are the people, the government.
The politicians are not. Politicians
have to bear with the people," he said.
Waste compact is focus of Friedman campaign
By CHRIS LANDGRAFF
Staff Writer
Bruce Friedman, a plumbing con
tractor from Sylva, has centered his
Democratic gubernatorial campaign
on North Carolina's membership in
the Southeast Low-Level Radioactive
Waste Compact, he said in a recent
interview.
"No other candidate is an active
opponent of North Carolina's mem
bership in the compact, and 1 am
offering the choice to the voters,"
Friedman said.
He said he is running as the
alternative to Democratic candidate
Lt. Gov. Bob Jordan and Republican
Gov. Jim Martin who have both
complied with the requests of utility
companies and are allowing North
Carolina to become a nuclear dump
site.
The democratic process was over
looked in the decision to join the
compact, and he wants to raise
N.C. Elections
awareness of the significance of the
compact, he said.
Rather than using paid advertise
ments in his campaign, he is depend
ing on media coverage, he said.
"I have a large network of envir
onmental groups supporting me and
I am going around the state speaking
to different groups," Friedman said.
"I am gaining support as people hear
of the issues I stand for."
Since entering the race, Friedman
has added the issue of increased
funding for education to his platform.
"The salaries of our teachers must
be increased. We cannot improve our
system if teachers are leaving the state
because North Carolina's salaries
cannot compete with other states
throughout the nation," he said.
Friedman also wants to increase
aid to families who cannot afford
medical insurance. "The increasing
costs of medical care and medical
insurance are causing too many
people to fall through the cracks. The
government cannot sit back and
watch this happen," he said.
As governor, he would "modernize
North Carolina state government" by
granting the governor limited veto
power over state legislation, creating
a full-time state legislature and
instituting a citizen's initiated refer
endum process.
"We need a voter-initiated referen
dum to increase the power of the
people," he said. Many other states
enjoy this process, and there is no
reason why North Carolina should
not institute such a plan, he said.
But the main point of the election
should be as a voter referendum for
the waste dump, Friedman said, so
that a vote for him would be a vote
against the dump.
