Hello and welcome to my online legislative office

It is both a profound honor and an ongoing challenge to have served you for three terms in the North Carolina House of Representatives, and I look forward to the opportunities and successes of the 2007-08 session of the General Assembly.

This is an exciting time for North Carolina. There is much to do to ensure a measurable quality of life for our citizens and I am working hard to achieve that goal. This session, I am privileged to serve as Chair of the Committee on Commerce, Small Business and Entrepreneurship and will explore a variety of ways we can expand entrepreneurship as a vital economic development strategy in North Carolina.

I am also serving as Vice-Chair of the Committee on Insurance and Chair of the University Board of Governors Nominating Committee, which is the policy-making body that is charged with the general control and supervision of all UNC institutions.

For this session, I am pleased to be serving on the following House Standing Committees: Education Subcommittee on Universities, Education, Appropriations, Appropriations Subcommittee on Transportation, and Military, Veterans and Indian Affairs.

I hope you will support my efforts this session and I welcome your participation on issues important to you. I can be reached at margaretd@ncleg.net or you can call 919-733-5776.
