Putting people first
Erskine Bowles has right priorities for North Carolina

Erskine Bowles wants to take John Edwards ’ place.

In the Senate, that is. Bowles is running for the senate seat in North Carolina that John
Edwards left to run for vice president. Bowles worked as a fund-raiser in Bill Clinton’s first presidential campaign and was subsequently appointed by President Clinton as director of the Small Business Administration.

With a strong background in the private sector, he excelled in this position, changing the SBA “from a political backwater to an engine of economic growth.” In 1994 he was appointed to Deputy White House Chief of Staff.

He served on the National Economic Council and the National Security Council where he developed a reputation by both parties as an honest, trusted negotiator and a strong, plain-speaking leader.
The foundation of his campaign was unveiled in his detailed plan to bring jobs to North Carolina, to help guardsmen and reservists, and to keep America’s promise to our veterans.
Erskine Bowles stands ready to put politics aside and people first.
