Tom Downing
— FOR NC SENATE —
DISTRICT 50
Do we want a State Senate that listens and responds to the needs of real people? Do we want the majority leadership in Raleigh to represent our needs? Do you feel that rural counties in WNC are being ignored in Raleigh?
Send me to Raleigh and I’ll work with everyone to find real solutions to our shortages of affordable housing, affordable daycare, and the rising costs of health insurance. My plan is to represent everyone in the 50th Senate District.
I’ve worked in municipal government for the last 15 years and prior to that I was a special education teacher working with students with serious emotional disability for eight years. In my work I’ve learned that really listening to people is the first step to making a difference in people’s lives.
I can’t wait to meet you on the campaign trail and hear about your concerns with how our state government works. Until then I invite you to email me and tell me what you think: td@tomdowning4ncsenate.com.
