Campaign Web sites: Who's got 'em?
I've been tracking down campaign Web sites for the Guilford County races I'll be covering this fall.
If you're not sure which district you live in, here's a map. I've noted incumbents and each candidate's party affiliation.
County commissioner
District 3
Ray Riffe (D) – rayriffeforcommissioner.org
Linda Shaw (R - I) – Has no plans to create a site. "I’m afraid if I start it that I won’t be able to keep it up," she said. "Everybody knows they can call me."
District 6
Kay Cashion (D - I) – kaycashion.com
Lonnie Albright (R) – No Web site, and doesn't plan to build one. He has a personal/professional site up at lonniealbright.com.
District 9
Carolyn Coleman (D - I) – Might create a Web site but hasn't decided yet. Of her opponent's site, she said, "If I can’t do any better, I don’t want one."
Vernon Ward (R) – vernonward.com
Sheriff
BJ Barnes (R - I) – bjbarnes.com
Berkley Blanks (D) - blanksforsheriff.com
(Commissioners Steve Arnold and Bruce Davis also face re-election this fall, but both are running unopposed.)

Hi Nate and thanks for your mention of us candidates who have websites. In reference to my opponent's response that "Everybody knows they can call me", that may very well be true, but what everyone won't get from her is an answer or even a response. Today's citizens should expect nothing less than a response to a phone call or e-mail within a reasonable amount of time. This didn't happen when I tried to contact my opponent a few years ago and I felt neglected and unrepresented. I will respond to my constituents because I know how it feels first-hand when a concern is not even acknowledged. Believe it or not, to be responsive to the folks of District 3 is a very big reason why I'm running. Thanks again for your coverage and I welcome a spirited debate and campaign.
