Richard Doeffinger,
NC Senate District 14
Republican Richard Doeffinger, Fall 2005, is running for NC
Senate from District 14.
Richard believes "our founding fathers had a vision for this
nation. A vision of freedom. The difference between the managing of

think independently. To have vision you must have faith in something
greater than yourself."

Patricia Oliver,
Clerk of Superior Court in Johnston County
Democrat Patricia Oliver, Fall 2004, is a candidate for Clerk of
Superior Court in Johnston County.
When asked of her intentions, Oliver responded with "I am just an
ordinary person, raised on sharecroppers' farms here. I am not a
politician. I am an American. I plan, with re-organization and
budgeting, to get the clerks office out of the 19th century and into
the 20th century. The office will be responsible, responsive and
user friendly. We will give the people the customer service they
deserve."
