Please allow me to communicate something that I believe is of importance to all taxpayers in Carteret County.

My name is Terry Frank and I own Frank Door Company located in Newport, NC. I believe in civic responsibility as demonstrated by my two years of voluntary service on the local ABC Board of Directors and four years on the Carteret County Economic Development Council Board of Directors.

I chose to move my family and business here over ten years ago because of the quality of life, the quality of the workforce and the true sense of community I found here in Carteret County. My business has thrived and I feel that sense of community even more.

I believe that we need strong leadership from our elected officials

and I can offer the strength that comes from the real experiences of owning and operating a successful business.  This business perspective brings a strong commitment to fiscal responsibility and scrutiny of expenses. It is this perspective and my belief that with responsible leadership, Carteret County will continue to grow and prosper. I am willing to offer my time and expertise in this effort.

            Therefore, I will be filing to run for County Commissioner in District 3. I am asking for your support.

The decision to run came from of a strong commitment to my community and the belief that with your help we can make a difference. You can be assured that I will have your tax dollars and the role of government in supporting businesses at the center of my focus.

I have always been a Republican and believe strongly in its core principles and know they are what we need in 2012 to lead us out of this economic downturn.   I have also staunchly supported the Carteret County Republican Party and its candidates and have continually increased my participation in the party over the years.  I will take the opportunity to use my talents and business experiences gained over the past twenty-five years with Republican principles as a guide to assist Carteret County government.

Thank you,

Terry Frank
