Jay Ovittore for Congress

Yesterday, I drove to Raleigh and filed at the State Board of Elections to run as a Democrat in the primary for US Congress NC-06. I was at the Guilford County Board of Elections the day before and filled out the paperwork, but it was too late in the day to get the papers to Raleigh safely. They can mail them for me, but it was too close to the filing deadline to take that chance.

I announced way back in mid-November and have been building momentum ever since. I have met so many wonderful people in the 6th District in all 6 expansive counties. If I haven’t met you yet, I want to. Look for me around the District. I’ll be everywhere!

My opponent has endorsed Mitt Romney for President. He spoke yesterday on The Hill blog of Romney’s Super Bad Tuesday.

Let’s hope his wisdom is the same for his own campaign. Romney today suspended his race for President. Just how plugged in to the beltway are you sir? I believe, just as plugged in as you are to the people of the 6th District and the problems they face. Not at all.

While we are speaking about Presidential politics, I also came across video of my opponent talking about his love of George Allen-(R)VA (he starts talking about this at around 45 seconds in) and his hope that he would have been the Republican nominee for President, that he would have been his choice for the nominee. “Macaca” anyone? To say this, after the racial incident Allen was involved in and the physical intimidation the Allen campaign used on reporters, is unacceptable.

Is this the kind of judgment you want in your Representative? Endorsing a racist? Endorsing a man who deals in thuggery?
