Having served on the Kannapolis Board of Education for many years, I understand the extreme importance of electing representatives who will advocate for public education. For that reason and for her stance on other issues, I will vote for Gail Young (D) for NC House District 83. Her opponent, in my opinion, has not been supportive of our teachers and students. Please visit Gail’s website at www.gailyoungnc.com for her position on the many issues that affect us all.
Johnson, Young would represent us well
