RALEIGH — Johnston County businessman DeVan Barbour, one of eight candidates running for the Republican nomination in the redrawn 13th Congressional District, unveiled a new television ad in the crowded field.
Barbour’s ad highlights his family, including a “husband in training” and “seven-time dad of the year.” He also says he’s a conservative eastern North Carolina native.
His competitors include attorney Kelly Daughtry, Bo Hines, Kent Keirsey, and Kent Keirsey. Hines, Keirsey and Slotta announced their congressional runs in other districts across the state before settling on the new 13th – the most competitively drawn seat in the state.
I say there’s still room in this race for a real, grassroots conservative who’s not afraid to tell you where he’s at or where he’s from!!
