Party: Republican
Overview: Incumbent John Blust beat Libertarian challenger Jeffery Simon. He has voted against most bills that would increase taxes, and bills that would restrict campaign financing and lobbying. His record also shows his opposition to regulations such as the statewide indoor smoking ban.
On the record: “The process is broken. You see it in Washington. You see it in Raleigh. Rep. Jeffus just told you the decisions are all made in Room 612. And I’ve been out on the block before. I’ve knocked on over 13,000 doors in this community, and I’ve won elections, and I’m entitled to a seat in the room where the decisions are made.” (From Yes! Weekly)
