Renee Ellmers Files for Congress Al Lytton 2.24.2010

(Raleigh, NC) – Today Renee Ellmers officially filed to run for Congress in North Carolina’s Second Congressional District, opposing Congressman Etheridge. “I do not share President Obama’s vision for America, and I do not believe we can borrow and spend our way to prosperity. Bob Etheridge has voted with Barack Obama and Nancy Pelosi 97% of the time. He’s voted for Wall Street bailouts, higher debt ceilings, and he and Barack Obama have spent billions on government ‘Stimulus Plans’ to create jobs – but we’ve lost 3 million jobs,” said Renee Ellmers. “I’m a mother, wife and nurse and I never dreamed I’d be running for Congress, but it’s time to put a stop to the Obama rubber stamp Congress and Washington politics as usual.” Renee Ellmers is married to Doctor Brent Ellmers, and they have one son, Ben. The Ellmers live in Dunn. Mrs. Ellmers graduated Oakland University with a Bachelor of Science in nursing. She works as a nurse in her husband’s general surgical practice and Trinity Wound Center. Renee is active in her community and civic affairs serving as Chairman of the Dunn Planning Board, Dunn Area Tourism Authority Board, and the Harnett County Nursing Home Committee. Mrs. Ellmers was named the Dunn Area Chamber of Commerce Woman of the Year in 2008.
