NC Rep. Patsy Keever filed Thursday for the U.S. House in North Carolina’s newly drawn 10th Congressional District.
“Today a lot of people have a sense that Congress is not working for them. In fact, many have given up on our elected officials, believing they care more about lobbyists and special interests than ordinary folks. Many people feel that honesty and integrity are missing in Washington and that politicians inside the Beltway are more interested in partisan combat and political power than actually dealing with the critical issues that confront the American people. My goal as a member of Congress will be to make government work for everybody. That's why I ran for office in the first place and it’s why I am running today.
“As a state representative, county commissioner, public school teacher, mother and grandmother, I have spent more than 30 years working to make this community a great place for our families and children to live. I have always sought to put people first. I have fought to create greater opportunities for meaningful employment. I have endeavored to keep our children in school and ensure that they get an education that empowers them to prosper. I have taken a stand for the beauty of our state and the quality of our air and water. I have done my best to create a community that serves all of its citizens. When I am elected to the House of Representatives, I will continue to do so.”
Keever, currently in the 115th state House district, is a Democrat. She taught in the public schools for more than 25 years and served on the Buncombe County Board of Commissioners for 12 years. Keever was elected to the state House in 2010.
