Democratic Senate Challenger; member of State Senate
North Carolina needs a work horse, not a show horse
Twenty years younger than Dole, Hagan promised to bring new energy to the job, saying the state needs "a work horse, not a show horse. I want to be that work horse."
Yet, Dole doesn't appear to be lacking in energy. Countering criticisms that she's out
North Carolina, she said twice during the 45-minute debate that she's spent time in all 100 counties since her election in 2002. She's already aired TV ads pointedly placing her in several cities and towns around the state.

You do not make a difference standing on the sideline
Kay Hagan knows that you do not make a difference standing on the sideline. When she first ran for the State Senate almost ten years ago, she was a businesswoman and mother who believed that Raleigh needed a voice like hers.
During her five
terms in the State Senate, where she was named one of North Carolina's "Ten Most Effective Legislators," she has proven to be an effective leader who is not afraid to do the hard work to bridge partisan divides and always put people before politics.
