Dear Friends,
It is time to elect proven leaders.
As a lifelong Republican, former county commission chair and as a small business owner, I’m running for Secretary of State to bring jobs back to our state.
As Chair of Wake County Board of Commissioners, I oversaw the largest jobs expansion in the county’s history. My efforts led to the creation of over 3,000 new high paying jobs, the influx of over $320 million in investments, and the arrival of global corporations—including Credit Suisse First Boston, GlaxoSmithKline, Lenovo Fidelity and Novartis.
In 2008, I was named the Urban Elected Official of the Year, by the National Association of Counties, representing over 50,000 elected officials.
As your Secretary of State, my top priority will be:
JOBS: Attracting ~ Keeping ~ Growing
I’ll reduce red tape and government paperwork to make it easier for businesses to succeed.
I humbly ask for your support and vote.
With Warmest Regards,



Follow Kenn!
