One of our campaign's most valuable assets are our many determined volunteers. One such volunteer and supporter, Mandy Carter, told me why she supported Jim Neal at headquarters yesterday:
"My name is Mandy Carter, I'm here in Durham, NC at the Jim Neal Headquarters.Can you support our campaign too by volunteering or contributing?
Why am I going to vote for Jim May 6th? I moved to North Carolina in 1982 and guess who was the Senator here? Jesse Helms. 30 years Republican. Now we have Elizabeth Dole, another Republican. It's time for a Democrat in the U.S. Senate. And who better to send than Jim Neal, representing the entire the state of North Carolina.
And I have to also say as a black women why am I supporting Jim Neal as a white man as opposed to Kay Hagan as a white women? Sometimes it's about integrity on the issues."
