What People Are Saying

"I have known Senator Walter Dalton for many years, and have supported him in his previous campaigns because I believed that he was looking out for the best interests of North Carolinians.  He appeared before me many times when I was a sitting district court judge, and I had many opportunities to see first-hand how thoughtful and intelligent he was when presenting his cases.  He always conducted himself in an ethical and professional manner, and I know that he will be a Lt. Governor that we can respect and trust to lead us into the future.  I cannot imagine a better choice for North Carolina at this critical time.  Senator Dalton is the right man at the right time.  I strongly encourage everyone to vote for Senator Dalton for Lt. Governor."

Deborah Burgin, Former District Court Judge

"I have known Walter Dalton since he was a child, and I was good friends with his father, State Senator Charles Dalton.  I took a special interest in Walter after his father died when Walter was only eight, and I am proud of the person he has turned out to be.  I know of no finer family man, and of no one who genuinely cares about people more than Walter.  He has served this area with distinction, compassion, energy and vision as our State Senator, and he will take those attributes to the office of Lieutenant Governor.  Walter has referred to me as a mentor and says "we are like family".  Indeed this is true and the feeling is reciprocal.  I am proud of him and the people of North Carolina will be proud of their choice when they elect him Lieutenant Governor.
John J. (Jack) Hunt, Former Speaker Pro Tem of the North Carolina House of Representatives
