Bryson is best choice to challenge Meadows

To the Editor:

On June 7 citizens of the 11th Congressional District will be asked to vote again. Because of redistricting, Rick Bryson from Swain County and Tom Hill from Zirconia are your Democratic  choices against Rep. Mark Meadows, R-Cashiers.

I’ve known Rick Bryson for 20 years. He has the knowledge, passion and vision that it will take to lead Western North Carolina into a successful future.

He wants to put North Carolina back on top in education, bring back jobs to WNC with a Research Triangle West. He has had this innovative idea for five years. 

He sees that we are losing our best and brightest teachers to other states because of the actions of our government in Raleigh and Rep. Meadows.

He supports our veterans and not only their health care but everyone’s right to affordable health care. He will make sure Social Security stays secure!

Rick has an unexplainable love for WNC; it is part of his heart and soul. He loves the very dirt. So I know he will work hard to protect our environment and infrastructure. At the same time he will fight for the settlement money from the North Shore Road agreement.

So I urge you to vote for Rick Bryson for Congress on June 7.
