	Dale Folwell on Principles & Values

EGO stands for Edging God Out

Q: Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs & values.

A: I am not a perfect person. I believe "ego" stands for Edging God Out. I want God to be happy with me. Every night, I surrender to the Lord Jesus Christ and hope that he gets between my ears every morning before the rest of the world does. Jesus is the center of my joy. I believe God made everyone possibly better AT something than anyone in the world- not better THAN. I also think that there shouldn't be ethical gaps between a candidate's personal, campaign and professional life.

The root word of Governor is to govern. The root word of conservative is to conserve. They are verbs. God gave me the vision to see, humility to listen and COURage (not rage) to act. I'm not the most hateful, tallest, richest or loudest candidate for Governor. I'm the candidate who as Governor can fix the agencies like DMV,DOT, DHHS and board of elections. I will be a constitutional Governor who will follow the NC Constitution and the Republican Platform.

The blood that runs through me is Quaker: be fair and just

We are constantly challenging assumptions and to figure out what is right, get it right and keep it right on behalf of those who teach, protect and serve, and taxpayers like them… The blood that runs through me is Quaker and one of the spices of this religion is to be fair and just. There's no Democrat, Republican, white or Black, or male and female money in the Treasurer's office. It's all green. The Treasurer's office does not pick and choose which laws to apply or who to apply them to. Source: Chatham News + Record on 2024 North Carolina Governor race , May 5, 2021
