Lt. Governor Candidate-Hampton Dellinger

Here are some of Hampton Dellinger's comments:
"North Carolina is number one when it comes to our business climate. We are not number one when it comes to making our MH/DD/SAS climate just as good as our business climate.
We should be number one on those issues and not just number one for business."

"I came out with Dorethea 365, a year round commitment to MH DD SAS."

"I worked month after month and year after year so that what we have Disability Rights NC an independent Protection and Advocacy organization that will take the lead and aggressively hold the governments feet to the fire."

"Thomas S and Willie M we have got to live up to the settlement agreements. We failed initially in those cases and we need to live up to the state's commitment."

I was so disappointed with our state legislature this past year knowing that we did not provide compensation to the living victims of the forced sterilization that our state over saw. These are people dealing with a developmental disability. At the least we should provide compensation to them. Our state legislature decided to cut taxes on the richest North Carolinians. I do not get it."

Dellinger also recognized that there is insufficient funding for our veterans who are returning with traumatic brain injury.
