industry to locate into our area. New

advantages for the county and the state.
It provides jobs, adds to the tax base
and improves the quality of life for all
our citizens. 1 believe that all people in
our district need is an opportunity We
have some really good people living in
our area and elected officials should
help recruit higher paying jobs that
will encourage our young people to
stay in the area Increased income
lev els will also enhance our educational
system There are many things that
recruiting industry into the area can do
to improve the sty le of life for all our
citizens. I offer myself as a candidate
because 1 would like to help in the
recruitment of industry
"Another major concern for our
district is education I am presently
serving as Chairman of the Board of
T rustees at Pembroke State U niv ersity
1 have a high regard for that institution
and want to see growth in the student
enrollment, the overall facilities on
the campus. I would like to see
Pembroke State Univ ersity become one
of the largest universities in the 16
member University system It is very
possible for this to happen All it lakes
is a concerted, unified effort by all of
us We need to take advantage of the
uniqueness of our county We have
many positive aspects to life in this
area We should use these to our
adv antage We need to actively recruit
students for our university We need to
involve ourselv es in the affairs of the
university because we are all part of
the community and it is advantageous
to us all."
