Woolard to challenge Butterfield

Insurance executive and Beaufort County Republican Ashley Woolard has announced his plans to run for Congress against Democratic U.S. Rep. G.K. Butterfield next year.

Earlier this week, Woolard, 34, told the Beaufort County Republican Men's Club that his campaign would have three major focal points: "Jobs, Jobs, Jobs," Woolard said, according to a news release. "Kids will stay in school if they know that a job is waiting. More of them will stay out of trouble if they know that staying straight will allow them access to jobs."

Woolard is a graduate of Washington High School and East Carolina University. After graduation, Woolard joined his family business, the Woolard Insurance Group, where he serves as vice-president.

Woolard was chairman of the Beaufort County Republican Party from March 2007
until March 2009.

I understand your obsession with Sarah Palin now. Why can't dumb people run stuff for a change? It worked for 8 years under GWB!

We need more people in Congress not paid off by trial lawyers and unions.

Right. Because there aren't enough cross-eyed rich white sons of people that call their brood "Junior" or Paul the Tird. I meant third.

Send him money Paul if you think he has a chance. He actually does more than you to ever be anything more than a Dome poster that somehow managed to not alienate less than one in five voters. HA!

Why are Conmax and gigglebox both left wing radical democrats against a small business owner running for Congress?

We need more people in Congress not paid off by trial lawyers and unions. We need someone who depends only on himself for personal income who will not be bought off like the Democratic Congressman from New Orleans paid off with cash. ( Caught with 90k in freezer). Or someone like Rangel-D who is caught not paying his taxes and then lies about it.

This Republican Gentleman will be honest and transparent.

Where is the moderator of this blog? Asleep as usual! Come on people, let's try to have an intelligent conversation.

Congratulations to Mr. Woolard. No member of Congress should go unopposed - and who knows, he may actually have a chance, considering Mr. Butterfield's record.

Put some meat on those bones, boys - and by the way, get rid of the tattoos, moderator.

Why are democrackkks SO damn INTOLERANT of others?

Heightened sense of smell perhaps? For example, your post smells like irony. "99-44/100% Pure®: It Floats."
