I am running for Mayor to bring 50,000 jobs to Greensboro and Guilford County over the next 10 years. I want my kids to be able to live and work around Greensboro after they graduate college. The status quo is currently an impediment to the chances of my being able to watch my grandkids grow up close by. We cannot bring in good paying jobs with an uneven playing field for businesses looking to relocate or expand. I believe we don't have a level playing field, which means some of our city's leaders have acted in the name of our community, while favoring a select few in an ethically inappropriate manner.

"George Hartzman...argued that reform needs to be taken a step further."


"You have these people who are wanting to do business with the government,
and they’re paying for their election.

And then they get elected and they put a proposal
in front of the people that they paid to get elected.


And then the people who got elected
vote for the thing that the person wants to have passed.

It’s a conflict of interest….

Why aren’t we looking at not letting the people who are contributing to elections
not being able to do business with the city for X amount of time
before and after they give the money?

Doesn’t that seem simple?

It’s basic ethics.”

George Hartzman, 2009
