Tony Wilkins Campaign: Two New Strong Testimonials. Thanks.
April 21, 2012 – 1:04 pmI’m honored and humbled at these two new testimonials posted at our campaign website, www.tonywilkins.com.
“Tony Wilkins is uniquely qualified to represent the interests of our High Point citizens on the Guilford County Board of Commissioners. As a former staff member of the International Home Furniture Center for ten years, he understands the needs and economic importance of our Market. A proven fiscal conservative, he will fight for smaller government. We need his strong voice and proven experience working for us. He has my vote!”.
The Honorable Laura Wiley, NC General Assembly“Tony served the Guilford County GOP as Executive Director for two years during my tenure as Chairman. He took the lead and was our point person in the successful effort in 2009 to elect the first Republican Mayor and Republican majority Council in Greensboro in modern times. Tony has and continues to work tirelessly for the GOP and Republican candidates”.
Bill Wright, Chairman, NC Republican Chairman’s Association
Campaign Update
April 18, 2012 – 2:55 pm
I haven’t stopped blogging but this campaign is taking most of my time. No sleep. Dropped about 30 lbs. I figure blogging about the campaign would probably bore most.
Campaigns cost money. Send me something at www.tonywilkins.com if you are so inclined.
I’ll share this experience that I posted on facebook:
I was reading Laura-Kathryn Fuqua’s experiences while campaigning door to door. Relating that to my own experiences on Saturday- I was chased by dogs, to the tune of someone screaming “he won’t bite” while I’m running like no fat guy should have to. I was chased by bees or some kind of flying things that were mad. And to top it off a bird flew into me scaring me to the point of a girly scream. What part of a 6′2″ 250 pound man can a bird not see? Fortunately, I was able to gather some votes.
Marcia, you would have really laughed if you had been there. Dog had big teefas. Had me in a cul-de-sac. I didn’t see the guy outside at first so I took up a karate chop stance and told the dog, “this ain’t gonna happen”. But it did. I bet the guy that lived there is still laughing.
Yard Signs Are In. Want One?
April 3, 2012 – 7:51 am
Some would rather have a pink flamingo stuck in their yard.
Yard signs, I believe, will be an important part of this campaign. Point being that hardly anyone knows they’re in the new District 6.
If you would like one I would be glad to deliver and mount. And it’s only for a little over a month.
E-mail me at tony@tonywilkins.com.
And while I’m on the campaign- could you spare $25? The website, tonywilkins.com, is set up for PayPal or for your personal credit card. You may think $25 is a small contribution and by all means don’t let me talk you out of that $1000 you were about to send. But for $25 I can reach about 50 people by mail or buy 6 yard signs. It all adds up and is all very much appreciated. Asking for money is not the fun part of the campaign, but a necessary one.
Thanks for all the support.

GC GOP Executive Director Mike Picarelli on Unaffiliated Voters
February 10, 2012 – 11:34 amThe link takes you to a video of an impressive Mike Picarelli recently being interviewed on News 2 sharing a necessary formula of seeking unaffiliated voters. Just by doing the math it’s clear we have to appeal to people outside of our tent in order to win seats. Picarelli has done an outstanding job in his first year as Executive Director of the local GC GOP.
