All registered Republican and Independent voters; I encourage you to vote for Chris Whitmire for North Carolina House District 113.

Chris is experienced leading complex business, military and education organizations and is a tremendous contributor to the community.

He is a problem solver and has a thorough grasp of the needs of our county.

His priority is jobs and a better economy for our area. He also wants our schools to provide a great education for future generations and he will protect our private property rights.

Chris loves our country.

He is an Air Force Academy graduate, military pilot and has served for over 25 years and continues to serve as a Lieutenant Colonel in the Air Force Reserves. He has been on the firing line as a pilot and is not afraid to stand for what is right.

Chris will be a listener and a strong voice for Western North Carolina. We need to be served and heard in Raleigh! Please vote for Chris Whitmire on May 8.

– Christine Hatfield, Mill Spring
