Republican Primary for Beaufort County Commissioner | Eastern North Carolina Now

   What have a Republican primary for county commissioner. Now we need a Democrat primary for county commissioner.

   Remarkably, even though Beaufort County has long been a Democrat County, there are only three Democrats who have filed to run for county commissioner. If Beaufort County Democrats are fully satisfied with the few Democrats who have filed, and do not wish a primary to winnow the field to find that best among that party's hopefuls, you may have your wish. I, on the other hand, believe in primaries to cull the wheat from the chaff, and provide the best candidates possible.

   Futhermore ...

   The end of filing for elected office is high noon, February 29, 2012. There is still time for many others to come forward to seek an office, in which they may make a difference for the the betterment of our local community. While running for office is a noble endeavor, understanding the process of Republican politics / government is even more paramount.

   Here at BCN, we have developed the resources, and moreover, we have the absolute will to do our part to keep you informed, and to help strip away years of misinformation that has retarded the open knowledge of some members of the electorate.

   Sadly, that intent to revise, and limit information, as it is disseminated, is ongoing, but then again, so are we.

   One more item of public interest: Due to BCN's large growth in traffic, serious candidates would be wise to forward all press releases, public statements, or editorials that would better inform the electorate to give that public an impetus to vote for them.

   Every time that I have run for public office, I always question myself: Have I done everything that I could have done to win within the time, and the financial resources at my disposal?

   If one is a serious candidate, that candidate will ask themselves that question. If you do not avail yourself to the wide coverage that Beaufort County Now enjoys, you may be cheating yourself from knowing victory on election day.
