The Greensboro Rhino Times endorses Steve Troxler
"Republican NC Commissioner of Agriculture Steve Troxler is being challenged by Democrat Jenna Wadsworth.
Troxler, 68, a farmer and small business owner from Brown Summit, has been agriculture commissioner since 2004. He receives high marks for his handling of the department, which overseas North Carolina’s largest industry. While Troxler has been commissioner, the state’s agriculture industry has grown by $30 billion to $93 billion a year.
Wadsworth is 31, but in a TikTok video she posted making fun of President Donald Trump contracting COVID-19, she acts like a middle school student; being young and being immature are not the same thing.
The silly video with Wadsworth striking various poses for the camera while celebrating Trump’s illness would be inappropriate for any adult, but for someone running for statewide office it demonstrates a level of immaturity that in any other year would be shocking.
Troxler was far and away the better candidate before the video hit the airwaves, but, if there was any question, the video makes it abundantly clear
Vote Troxler."
