Protest Votes Gladly Accepted
You could vote for an incumbent with a questionable track record and who has been part and parcel to the current problems...
You could vote for a person endorsed by organizations that are reactionary in nature to the incompetence of the first choice (the real problem is that these groups are racist)...
You could vote for a person that cannot enact any change because they are of the system...
You could vote for Carlene Lucas (she's the best of the previous four)...
Or you could vote for a genuine "pain in the rear" "take no prisoners" REAL businessman. I'm no politician, but I can do better than any of these other clowns.
And remember, I am not beholden to any group other than the voters. I did not raise any campaign funds. And I didn't litter the town with campaign signs and mailings.

My Reasons for Running


My daughters Emily Kate and Mary Ellen
And their cousins Andrew and Isabella
And because my poor educational background from my public school system kept me from getting an Engineering degree. It was too late before I realized I was good in science and math. To this day my poor English education hinders my learning foreign language for my business. I do not want this for any child.
Religious Beliefs
Devout Roman Catholic who attends Sacred Heart Cathedral in Raleigh
Background in Business
Great-grandfather started Augustin Lumber in Loretto, Tennessee in 1900 which my cousin still runs
Father bought out and ran Towles House of Carpets in Florence, Alabama which my mother still runs
I have 2 firms, one of them Augustin Information Services which is a staffing firm and consulting business that counts amongst its clients Cummins and AT&T. The other firm is Augustin Logistik which I am trying to get off the ground. It will be a international freight forwarder.
