HENRY HOSTETLER
NC Senate District 5 Candidate
My top priority will be to bring dignity, respect, and common sense to the NC Legislature from district 5. Our legislature needs someone that they can take seriously and that will be able to obtain our fair share of dollars to this part of NC.I have already been listening to folks in District 5 talking to several thousand people in the past six months. We are not just speaking to groups but LISTENING. I have met so many incredible people going door to door in Edgcombe and Pitt County listening to their concerns. In a survey in NC only 16% of North Carolinians knew who their senator was. That must change if we as elected officials are to involve our constituents. My goal is to at least double that percentage. Obviously it takes a team which is what we have. Elections do have consequences, local and state even more so than national. It is important to know who and what we are voting for.

I have worked in the public and private sector. I have run a business for twenty-six years and understand how difficult it is. It seems like every week there is another form that the city, county, and state requires. There is always another fee, another tax, and all kinds of insurance. Our country survives on small business. We should NOT be making it MORE difficult. I led a NC non profit organization as President of the NC Tennis Foundation. Tennis is the world's healthiest sport for a lifetime and should be made available to all.
Voters should know that I actually tried to run for NC Senate District 5 two years ago as an independent. To get on the ballot over 6500 signatures were required. We came up short and ran out of time. The republican and democrat candidates simply had to pay the fee. It was more difficult than I thought. Many folks did not understand the process. Over half of our state is now registered unaffiliated. I registered Republican as my views are more aligned with that party. My hope is that folks will get to know each candidate and not just vote for the party. I will gladly come to any group that asks.
I grew up in Hoke County, Raeford, NC and have been in Pitt County for 50 years. I have been married to my wife Kathy now for 42 years. We have three children and three grandchildren.
Most important to me is my faith in God through His son Jesus Christ my Savior.I am grateful to live in a country that allows me to exercise my freedom to run for public office. This being the 250th birthday of our country makes it even more special. The question is does our country still have the theological and moral foundation necessary to maintain the freedoms we celebrate? Consider:
- Recreational marijuana is now legal in 24 states.
- The average age of a child's first exposure to pornography is 12.
- More than half of men under age 50 hold an account with an online sportsbook.
Here's to the land of the long leaf pine,
The summer land where the sun doth shine,
Where the weak grow strong and the strong grow great,
Here's to down home, the old North State.
