Campaign themes

2016

Mahan Copelof issued the following statement regarding her bid for office:

I believe we need to concentrate on improving the Quality of Life for the people of Western North Carolina. To do this we must:

1. Attract well paying jobs so that our young people can stay here and raise a family with dignity.

2. Improve the public education system. We must ensure we are providing our public schools with the resources so that our children have the facilities, the highly trained teachers, the books and technology they need.

3. Health Care. We need to increase competition to reduce health care costs and we need to expand Medicaid so the low income population has health coverage.

4. Ensure we protect our natural environment and the health and well being of our citizens. [10]

—Maureen Mahan Copelof, [1]
