  1. Just remember if all the GOP people like the candidate than they are part of the sell out RINO establishment! Brad Knott is the real deal and will actually represent the people not his own interests.

  2. As a retired Johnston County small business owner I remember when her dad didn’t have the courtesy to answer emails or calls when the state legislated a tax on labor, causing us a substantial loss of work to neighboring states. As a legislator he could care less about the small business folks in Johnston County. Wonder how far the apple fell from the tree.

  3. I have been so lucky to have been borned and raised as well as a survior of this Johnstion County, the deep mortal favor of her dad is just not enough? I JUST DON,T TRUST HER? VOTING FOR KNOT AND I AM WISHING IT COULD HAD BEEN FOR THE OTHER HOME GROWN CANIDATE!!!!

  4. Conservative Voters Alliance- financed by her father. Endorsed by “50 Local and NC Leaders.” So? All that means is she is part of the clique. “Conservative fighter?” Wow, heard that one before .How does she define conservative exactly? Mitt Romney or Ronald Reagan?”Born and reared in Johnston County” Me too! So? As a voter I’m tired of all this generic campaigning that tells us nothing beyond the fact that the person wants to get elected. Where does Daughtry stand on specific issues like the state of the economy, immigration, tax reform, crime and the like? This applies to Brad Knott as well. Give us something substantive for once.
