State Representative Frank Iler files for re-election
BOLIVIA, N.C. – State Representative Frank Iler (R-Brunswick) officially filed as a candidate for a second full term at the Brunswick County Board of Elections in Bolivia on Monday.
“The citizens of Brunswick County have no truer friend than Rep. Frank Iler,” said House Speaker Thom Tillis (R-Mecklenburg). “On all issues, Rep. Iler puts his constituents first. In just a few years in the House, he has established a solid reputation as a consensus builder on complex legislation, and has become a leading voice in the House on transportation and coastal issues. I look forward to his reelection in 2012.”
“I am grateful to Speaker Tillis for his leadership and his support,” said Rep. Iler.
“Over the past three years, I have worked hard to represent the people of Brunswick County and bring long overdue conservative leadership to our state,” Rep. Iler continued. “We have accomplished a great deal since Republicans became the majority party in the State House less than two years ago, but it takes more than two years to clean up a mess that took 140 years to create. There is still much work left to be done.”
Rep. Iler highlighted a number of specific accomplishments, including:
- Balancing the budget while reducing citizens’ sales tax and income tax burden;
- Reducing burdensome regulations that have held our businesses back and stifled job creation;
- Passing a budget that puts education dollars in the classroom, not in the pockets of bureaucrats;
- Eliminating the cap on public charter schools;
- Passing a bill that would protect North Carolinians from the individual mandate in ObamaCare; this bill was vetoed by the Democrat governor;
- Passing legislation to protect homeowners from forced annexation;
- Passing a bill to protect property owners from eminent domain abuse; this bill is now pending in the State Senate;
- Supporting the referendum allowing citizens to vote to protect the definition of marriage as a union of one man and one woman; the Marriage Protection Amendment will appear on the May 8 primary ballot.
“Representing the people of Brunswick County in Raleigh is both a great honor and a tremendous responsibility – a responsibility I take very seriously,” says Iler. “I respectfully ask the good people of Brunswick County for their vote and support as we continue our work to restore fiscal sanity and responsibility to our state government.”
