BISCOE, N.C. - Larry Kissell, 27 year veteran of the local textile industry and Democratic candidate for Congress in North Carolina's 8th district, responded today to Robin Hayes' vote against the Oman Free Trade Agreement.

"I'm glad we were able to hold his feet to the fire on Oman. I'm worried our area can't take another free trade deal after Hayes' vote for CAFTA last year. Rest assured that I will hold Robin Hayes accountable for his record over the past 8 years between now and Election Day. I will continue to keep up the pressure on Congressman Hayes during his final days in Congress," said Kissell.
