Today, former four-term Governor Jim Hunt endorsed business and community leader Kathy Manning for North Carolina’s 13th Congressional District. Governor Hunt joins Kathy’s campaign as support and momentum continues to build for her candidacy.

“Kathy has spent the last 30 years building her community. She leads with her values— family, faith, hard work, and the belief that if you work hard and play by the rules, you should be able to build a better future for yourself and your children,” said Governor Jim Hunt. “Washington is broken and Kathy is the leader we need. She will bring people together to get things done for North Carolina, just like she always has.”

“I am humbled and grateful for Governor Hunt’s support in our campaign,” said Kathy Manning. “Governor Hunt is one of our state’s greatest public servants. His lifelong fight to improve public education continues today, and I’m proud to take that fight to Congress to ensure every North Carolina child has access to high quality education and training for the jobs of tomorrow. I am honored to stand beside Governor Hunt and work together for a better North Carolina.”
