In his short time in Raleigh, Ray Russell has already proven that politics come before people. Instead of supporting common sense legislation that would benefit the High Country, he chose to represent the interests of out of state donors and party bosses. That's not fair to the hardworking people of District 93 and we deserve better.
Since coming to Raleigh last year, Ray Russell has voted against pay raises for our teachers, blocked funding to Appalachian State University, and voted against the sanctity of life (Born Alive Bill). That is unacceptable.
As your representative, I will fight for our communities regardless of political consequences. I know the challenges we face and will work hard to find solutions. We can't afford to be left behind.
