Mrs. Obama to Host Community Event with Military Families in Jacksonville

Richmond County welcomed former North Carolina Gov. Jim Hunt to a Kissell for Congress dinner and rally at the Rockingham Speedway on Tuesday. Larry Kissell is the Democratic congressional candidate for North Carolina's 8th district, challenging Republican incumbent Robin Hayes.

Hunt and Kissell shook hands with supporters and greeted old friends in the Speedway garages before the rally began. Hunt explained why he supports Kissell in his race to the House of Representatives.

"This is a county of hard working people, that's why having a congressman who supports raising minimum wage is important," Hunt said before the rally began. "That's why we need a congressman who doesn't want to privatize Social Security, who doesn't want to send industry overseas. And that's the biggest difference between Larry Kissell and Robin Hayes."
