I’m Jim Neal and I want to introduce myself to this incredible community.

As we move forward I’m going to need the help and support of each and every one of you so we can take our seat back and retire Liddy Dole to her apartment at the Watergate.

I’ve spoke with Grier Martin and we are damned lucky to have a public servant of his caliber in this state. Grier has a great future ahead of him and I look forward to having him in my foxhole in this fight.

I’m a guy who has lived, worked and raised a family in the real world. I understand the issues– very serious issues– which confront our state and our republic. I can not do this alone folks. I’m not running out of personal ambition or political aspiration. I’m running because I believe that government can, not in all but many instances, lead the nation in making positive change which touch all of us. Liddy Dole is no leader, and she doesn’t and hasn’t lived in the real world for the 40-odd years of her adult life spent inside the Beltway.

I’m a fighter. I am committed and will survive the mudslinging which comes in an election year when the GOP is vulnerable, scared, without substance and rudderless. I ain’t afraid of the briar patch, and I am running this race to win.

I thank you and I look forward to meeting and speaking with you.
