Background: Paul Purdue has received the endorsement of Buncombe County Commission Chairman Nathan Ramsey

Dear Families of Buncombe County and District 115;

In the past few years I have had the opportunity to meet Paul Purdue and his wife. He has an unique life story as someone who was born and raised in Ireland and who has worked very hard for over a decade to become an American citizen. Paul has witnessed first hand how nations in Europe have raised taxes, increased regulations, and drifted away from traditional values. He has seen how this has harmed families and has destroyed individual inititative.

Like myself, he believes that our state and nation are headed down the path of the Europeans and he is very fearful for the damage that will result to our great country. If Paul Purdue is elected, I am confident that he will be a strong voice willing to do what is right in our State Legislature. He will work hard and do his best.

As a farmer myself, I can tell you that Paul loves the land and has become an American citizen, newly minted, as he puts it, because of his commitment to his new country.

Together we can help Buncombe grow in a responsible manner for the benefit of everybody and secure future blessings.

Thank you for your continued support.

Nathan Ramsey

Buncombe County Commission Chairman

2000 to 2008
