My name is Drew Pritt and I am running for Arkansas Lt. Governor in 2010.
The Lt. Governor's office has always been an office I have wanted to serve in. As Lt. Governor, I can be an effective advocate for health care reform as well as economic development in the Delta, protecting a woman's right to choose in Arkansas, and most of all, continue to be a voice for equal rights for all Arkansans. However, to another level, unlike the current incumbent, as Lt. Governor I am willing to work with the leadership of the State Senate and the Governor's office, rather than just offering my own agenda.
The Lt. Governor of Arkansas has always been a role of partnership with the Governor and State Senate. The current incumbent has not met that role. However, an additional role I will bring to this office is to be a voice for those who currently do not have a voice in state government. For those who cannot afford a well-paid lobbyist, as Lt. Governor, I will be that voice. For those who have been shut out of the process, as Lt. Governor, I will be an obudsmen who brings them back into the process and gives them a voice. Most of all, as Lt. Governor, I will be a voice for health care reform that covers ALL Arkansans, not just some.
Some people have viewed me as a frequent candidate and some members of the media have talked about the fact that I have run or sought to run for office a few times. The fact is, that is the truth, but thats who I am. Some people are firemen. Some people are called to the ministry. Some people are teachers, or lawyers, or farmers. My passion, my calling, my role is to be an activist. And I have wanted the chance to serve in public office, not as a means to further my own-self or my own goals. I believe politics is an honorable profession. And to serve in office means the opportunity to have a bully pulpit, to have a means, to not just promote issues and an agenda, but also to return to the other facet of elective office, which is to be a spokesperson and an advocate for those citizens without a voice.
Please consider this website your direct link to me and visit often to get up-to-date campaign information. Hopefully you can also spend a few minutes on my campaign site in order to get a better understanding of my qualifications.
With your support, I will have the privilege of greater service to our community as a Arkansas Lt. Governor.
I am asking for your help and support. Please give me an opportunity to earn your vote on June 8, 2010.
Sincerely,
