Myrick Caught "Asleep At The Wheel" On Driving Jobs To District 9
Charlotte, NC- Native American small business owner Jeff Doctor announced on Monday February 22, 2010 that he is running for Congress in North Carolina's 9th Congressional District.
"In these tough economic times, we need more leaders in Washington who understand economic development and what it takes to create jobs. As a small business owner, I understand the challenges that North Carolina families and small businesses are facing on a daily basis." Doctor said. "I've been active in this community and have been involved in a number of small businesses. I had to work my way up so I know what it means to work hard and struggle to make ends meet."
Doctor said, "People are tired of the Washington style politicians driving this district in the wrong direction. Sue Myrick has been asleep at the wheel not working to protect a strong economic presence in this region. I want to protect the businesses that exist now and accelerate the focus on helping local entrepreneurs create jobs"
He also noted he will focus on promoting renewable energy, veteran's issues and making sure the federal government is more fiscally responsible. The Doctor campaign's website is www.JeffDoctorforCongress.com
"This isn't Sue Myrick's seat in congress, it belongs to the people of Mecklenburg, Gaston and Union counties," Doctor said. "I will fight for North Carolinians in Washington and will work tirelessly to bring major industries and small businesses to North Carolina."
