What It Takes to Be a U.S. Senator

A fundamental trust has been broken between Washington and the American people. It can be restored -- if, we elect the right leader for the job. That is why I am supporting Elaine Marshall for Senate.

Over thirty years ago, I had the distinct honor to be a United States Senator.

It was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to serve the people of North Carolina that I have always cherished. It was a different time then. Sure, there were partisan politicians and obstructionists, but this Senate sure is different than my day.

A fundamental trust has been broken between Washington and the American people. When I served in the United States Senate, we got things done and there was a level of professional decorum that we adhered too. That has sadly changed since then, but it can be restored -- if, we elect the right leader for the job.

That is why I am supporting Elaine Marshall for Senate. Will you join me?

North Carolina needs a leader with a record of taking on the very same special interests who dominate Washington. North Carolina needs a leader who will fight for the middle-class and restore common sense leadership to the U.S. Senate. There are many good candidates running this election cycle, but only one of them has the experience and record of taking on Wall Street and special interests: Elaine Marshall.

She's taken on lobbyists in North Carolina... and won.

She's taken on Wall Street... and won.

She's taken on the establishment... and won.

Elaine Marshall is the right person at the right time. She is above and beyond the best candidate to elect in November, and I'm proud to support her campaign. But the truth is, however, she cannot win it alone.

Thank you very much,

Robert Morgan
Former United States Senator
