Beitler Announces Candidacy – Updated
Dr. Mike Beitler
Dr. Mike Beitler of Guilford County announced this morning on the Curtis Wright radio program that he is seeking the Republican nomination for North Carolina Secretary of State.
“I, Mike Beitler, am an official candidate for Secretary of State,” Beitler said.
“The reason I am seeking the position is because Elaine Marshall has been there for fifteen years and has missed the part of her job description which is to facilitate business in North Carolina.”
Beitler continued: “I know how to do that. Get the government out of the way.”
Beitler, who ran unsuccessfully for Senator in 2010 as the Libertarian challenger to Richard Burr and Elaine Marshall, changed his party registration to Republican earlier this year. If successful in the nomination, it would once again pit Beitler against Marshall, the current Secretary of State, in a statewide contest.
Beitler said he has spent much of the last several months touring the state and gauging support for his candidacy. With good reception already from Republicans across the state, Beitler said making it official seemed like the logical next step.
“So many people have encouraged me to run saying that North Carolina needs an advocate for small business. I’m that person,” he said.
Beitler (pronounced Bite-ler) is an author, speaker, and consultant sought after for his expertise in business, politics, and economics.
