Timothy Thomas (North Carolina)
Timothy Thomas was a 2012 Republican candidate for District 16 of the North Carolina House of Representatives.
Campaign themes
Thomas' website highlighted the following campaign themes:[1]
Jobs & Economy
- Excerpt: "The unemployment rate in North Carolina is 10%, with the under-employment rate over 15%. We have to make North Carolina a more tax-competitive State for businesses. NC ranks 44th out of all 50 States as being business friendly. This is unacceptable."
Education
- Excerpt: "North Carolina needs to allow more charter schools in the State. This will give parents options so they can make the best decisions on their children’s educational needs. We also need to find a way to give our best teachers a well deserved pay raise."
Regulations
- Excerpt: "We need to reign in these Departments and the bureaucrats that write these regulations and "Common Sense" needs to be applied when enforcing them. It’s not only hurting businesses, but also put restraints on your own property."
Military & Veterans
- "Work to bring “Defense” related manufacturers to our area along with more DOD jobs"
- "Work to bring a State Veterans Cemetary to Pender County"
