CATHY WRIGHT, REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE FOR N.C. HOUSE, DISTRICT 54
Voters in N.C. House District 54 have the opportunity to vote for real change in this election with a vote for Republican Cathy Wright, who wants to stop inefficient and extravagant spending of our hard-earned tax dollars.
Democrats have been using federal stimulus money, one-time revenue sources and temporary taxes to prop up our state budget. Last year in the middle of a recession and one of the largest budget deficits in state history, Cathy’s opponent, liberal, 30-year career legislator Joe Hackney, introduced $1.1 billion in new taxes and fees in order to help balance their budget.
The Democrats’ “tax-and-spend” mentality has finally caught up with them and they have nowhere to go but tax more so they cover all their spending. To make matters worse, next year North Carolina is facing a $3.2 billion deficit. Permanent cuts in “out-of-control spending” have to be proposed to get our budget back in balance, and Cathy Wright supports policies for a more sustainable level of state spending, and encouraging job creation by lowering taxes to energize our businesses and our economy.
A vote for Cathy Wright is a vote for North Carolina’s future prosperity!

Cathy Wright will battle high taxation
Cathy Wright, candidate for the N.C. House of Representatives District 54, will make our district and state a better place to live and to conduct business. For example:
(1) North Carolina has the highest taxes in the Southeast, so what incentives exist for business to want to relocate here or for entrepreneurs to start a business and to hire people to cut our high unemployment rate? High taxes and out-of-control spending need significant cuts.
(2) Communities and properties are subject to annexation by municipalities — even across county borders and without a vote — because of an antiquated statute that needs to be revoked. City taxes are then added to the extant county and state taxes.
(3) Cathy’s husband served in the Navy and her son is a USAF F-22 fighter pilot; she knows “first hand” the sacrifices and hardships experienced by our approximately 800,000 in-state armed forces’ members, veterans and families with our ongoing wars against terrorism. She wants them to have a voice in Raleigh and to be treated properly and with respect for their dedication to duty and service in defending our country.
(4) Cathy is a licensed nurse and knows our health care issues and how we can make the best medical system in the world even better and more cost effective and not through state- or federal-directed mandates. Because Cathy will address issues such as (1) through (4) and is not a career politician, I hope you will join me in voting for her.

Two wrongs don’t make a right, but one Wright does. The two wrongs that we have had imposed on us by our state government are escalated spending and soaring taxes. In fact, our liberal legislators introduced $1.1 billion in new taxes and fees in order to help balance their 2009-2010 budget rather than living within their means and making necessary spending reductions.
Cathy Wright, candidate for the N.C. House of Representatives District 54, has the background and experience to make the right changes in our government that will bring us prosperity and hope for the future.
Cathy supports the right policies that will set the stage for strong economic growth and a more viable strategy for job creation through more competitive tax rates, a more sustainable level of state spending, and fewer regulatory roadblocks for new and expanding business.
On Nov. 2 (or as early as Oct. 14) be right and vote Cathy Wright for the House.
