Duane Cutlip
Duane Cutlip was a 2012 Republican candidate for District 35 of the North Carolina House of Representatives.
Campaign themes
2010
Cutlip's website talks about the following issues:[1]
- Jobs
- Excerpt: "What can the government do to get N.C. working again? It can start by getting out of the way! The best way to create more jobs is to free job-creators like small businesses from having to pay the highest taxes in the southeast."
- Spending
- Excerpt: "As your state representative, I'll push for a spending moratorium until the economy is back on track. I'll also look for waste and fraud in government spending. It's time politicians started treating your tax dollars with a little more respect."
- Healthcare
- Excerpt: "Even though the Healthcare takeover was a federal action, there are a few things I can do to fight it from the state level. First, I'll support a resolution that's already been introduced in North Carolina's General Assembly to protect citizens like you from being forced to buy health care. Second, I'll support a law that forces Attorney General Roy Cooper to join other states in suing the federal government over this unconstitutional monstrosity."

Campaign
Cutlip's opponent Darren Jackson disabled his campaign website five days before the election and after being asked whether it violated ethics rules in the General Assembly.[5] At issue is whether it's permissible for a legislator to include his legislative contact information on campaign material like a campaign website.[6]

Delegate rules
Delegates from North Carolina to the Republican National Convention were elected at congressional district conventions and the state convention in May. Delegates from North Carolina were required by state party rules to declare themselves in public "as a representative of a Candidate on the Presidential Preference Primary ballot" prior to their election as a delegate. At-large delegates were required to list their top three presidential candidates in order of preference and indicate whether they would be willing to commit to a candidate whom they do not personally favor.

- ↑ To build our list of the state and territorial delegations to the 2016 Republican National Convention, Ballotpedia relied primarily upon official lists provided by state and territorial Republican parties, email exchanges and phone interviews with state party officials, official lists provided by state governments, and, in some cases, unofficial lists compiled by local media outlets. When possible, we included what type of delegate the delegate is (at-large, district-level, or RNC) and which candidate they were bound by state and national party bylaws to support at the convention. For most delegations, Ballotpedia was able to track down all of this information. For delegations where we were not able to track down this information or were only able to track down partial lists, we included this note. If you have additional information on this state's delegation, please email editor@ballotpedia.org.
