SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT
February 24, 2014
Friends,
I believe that a career in public service is one of the most
rewarding
and humbling experiences a citizen can have in his or her
lifetime. Itake pride every day that I have been able to serve the
citizens of
Raleigh and Wake County for the past two decades: the
Raleigh
Planning Commission (1993- 1996 ), Chairman of the Raleigh
Planning Commission (1997-2000), Raleigh City Council, At-
Large (2001-2003), and the North Carolina Senate, District
15
(2004-present) .
No words can describe how humbled I have been to serve my
constituents in the North Carolina Senate. Writing legislation
and
making tough decisions that will move the state in the right
directionhas been a daunting task, but I feel that my Republican
colleagues
and I have made prudent choices for North Carolina.
In my first two terms in the General Assembly, I sat in the back
row
in the minority as liberals continued to make decisions that put
our
state further into debt by focusing on more and larger
government
programs as opposed to expanding business and employment
opportunities for our citizens. In 2010, voters across the state
sent a
referendum to Raleigh demanding that we change direction.
When
we took the majority, North Carolina had one of the
highestunemployment rates in the nation, a $2.5 billion budget
shortfall, a
mismanaged state health and retirement plan, and an array of
government projects with huge appetites.
Since Republicans took over in 2010, I have served as an
Appropriations Committee co-chair. In this role, I helped write
two
state budgets that curbed state spending, cut taxes, and
reduced
regulations. Despite the substantial negative media coverage
and protests, the reforms that we have made are indeed
working.

8/12/2019 Special Announcement from Senator Neal Hunt
2/2
The unemployment rate has dropped faster than any other state
in
the nation and employers are moving to North Carolina due to
our
new lower and more competitive tax rates. Plus our state debt
to
the federal government is disappearing!
I know in my heart that I have done my best to serve the people
of
Raleigh, Wake County, and North Carolina in the past two
decades.
After careful collaboration with my family and friends, I have
decidedthat my current term in the North Carolina Senate will be my
last. I
look forward to being a civilian again and spending more time
with
my wife, Duden, my children, Eleanor and Kemp, and my dog,
Bubba.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you all for your
support
over the years. Many of you have sent me letters, emails,
and
phone calls of encouragement. Your friendship has meant a lot
to
me.
Theres still much more to do in my last months in office. I will
still
be Senate Appropriations Co-Chair in 2014 so I will be busy!
The
short session begins on May 14thand a laundry list of items
still
remain that I believe will move our state in a positive
direction. I will
continue to be the same conservative leader that you expect
from
me as I finish out this term. The fight is not over!
As always, if I can ever be of assistance, please do not
hesitate to
contact my office!
God Bless,
Neal Hunt
