Shanahan:  Fetzer is “Ready to Lead”

Kieran Shanahan

Former Raleigh City Councilman Kieran Shanahan has endorsed Tom Fetzer for NCGOP Chairman.  Shanahan, an attorney who also serves as Chairman of the N.C. Property Rights Coalition, said, “I served on the Raleigh City Council while Tom Fetzer was our Mayor.  He led a conservative revolution in Raleigh which reduced taxes and privatized services.  Tom is an outstanding leader who will raise the money and build the organization the Republican Party needs to compete effectively in North Carolina.  He has proven that he is principled, articulate and ready to lead.”

In accepting Shanahan’s endorsement, Fetzer expressed his appreciation for Shanahan’s service as a City Councilman and his admiration of Shanahan’s leadership of the North Carolina Property Rights Coalition.  “I opposed forced annexation 100% of the time during my tenure as Mayor.  Private Property Rights are a bedrock of our free enterprise system, our democracy and the American way of life.  I know Kieran is an unapologetic advocate of private property rights, and I am honored that he is supporting my candidacy for Republican State Chairman,” Fetzer said.
