My name is Don Mial and I am a candidate for Wake Board of Commissioners. I am a life long resident of Wake County and my family has been a part of this county since the early 1800's and over the past thirty years, I have served the people of North Carolina as a soldier, more recently returning from Iraq, I volunteered and went to Louisiana in support of Katrina. I have had a number of jobs in state government, but only one career- public service.

With that core value at heart, I am running for the Wake County Board of Commissioners so that I can continue advocating on behalf of the public interest, continue fighting for change, and continue making Wake County and North Carolina a better place to live, because I have seen what happen when government fail its people.
As your county commissioner, I will strengthen our schools by recruiting and retaining the best teachers possible, expanding access to quality pre-kindergarten programs, and addressing the achievement gap. I will work with the Wake County Legislative delegation to deal with the challenges resulting from Wake County explosive growth by improving our public transportation system, tackle our water shortages and work, to create economic opportunities.

I want you to know how passionate, I am about the issues that matter to Wake County and that I will get up every morning and work as hard as I did to win this race and take that passion to the Wake County Board of Commissioners. So ladies and gentlemen, its time, its time for a change, its time for the citizens of Wake County to have responsible government. You see, Government exists for the sole purpose of serving the people, not ruling the people; therefore it is the duty of the people, to stand up.

It's time for the citizens of Wake County to have responsible government, Government of the People, by the People and for the People, because we cannot continue to allow the assault on our senior citizens as my opponent has demonstrated in the coup to control the Wake County Board of Commissioners.
I am honored to partner with you on the issues that we care about. I want to be your County Commissioner and one that you will be proud to have helped elect.

Thank you,
Don Mial
