A Tale of Two Candidates
Submitted by AndrewJacksonDem on Sat, 10/21/2006 - 11:54am.In the campaign for North Carolina's 41st State House District, the choice could not be more clear. The voters of the 41st District have before them two candidates whom represent the future and the past. The sharp contrasts reflect the transformation happening in the Tar Heel state as North Carolina transitions from a ruarl-agrarian economy to one of a high-tech information based.
Democrat Ty Harrell, the "can-do" candidate, demonstrates a vast knowledge of the issues that face his constituents and the state of North Carolina. He is passionate about making a difference in the lives of people and there is no doubt he will be an effective leader for the folks living in NC House District 41.
Republican Russell Capps, the reactionary Representative "NO", has proven himself to be too extreme and out of touch with the needs of a district growing in population and diversity. His brand of politics is a link to the Old South past, where government protected the interests of the landed gentry while ignoring the plight of the masses. Capps is ineffective as a legislator and his district suffers by his ineptness to understand the issues shaping the future of North Carolina (his only legisltiave accomplishment was HB829, 2005 Displaying Government Flags).
