Don supports making North Carolina one of the leading clean-election states in the nation. Greater openness is the key to serving the public interest.

Don will advocate updating the public record laws so that state government is more transparent and accountable, particularly in the area of e-mail and web based communication.

Don supports the establishment of reimbursement pf legal fees and costs incurred by citizens if public officials are found in violation of the North Carolina Open Meetings Act of Public Records laws.

He fully supports the goals of the Sunshine Center , a non-profit non-partisan organization focused on guaranteeing citizens' rights to know how their dollars are being open and what their government is doing for them. For more information, visit www.ncopengov.org .
