TO THE EDITOR:
Lt. Gov. Bev Perdue will bring fresh and new ideas as our next governor. Perdue understands that North Carolina needs new jobs to build a strong infrastructure in order to tackle the today's economy.
Her vision includes high paying jobs in fast growing industries like green technology medical research and aerospace. She knows the importance of making college affordable for everyone and strengthening education at all levels.
As the state's first female lieutenant governor Perdue stood up to make a difference at a time when women didn't really participate in state politics.
Bev Perdue is not a product of the old-boy network in Raleigh as the DTH would have you believe.
If it is leadership that makes a difference Perdue is your candidate.
