Oldham Using New Advertising Media

Keith Clark Lee County North Carolina GOP Mobile Billboard Delivers Message County Commissioner candidate Larry C. “Doc” Oldham is operating a specialized advertising campaign in Lee County between now and election day. So far as is known, this is the first time that such advertising has been used in a Lee County race. The mobile bill board has become a rapidly accepted new tool in the campaign arsenal and has been used in both party's Presidential races. Oldham is running for commissioner and the mobile billboard will take Oldham’s message straight to the voter by utilizing a specially designed mobile billboard mounted on a lighted truck especially for this purpose. “Since I have been somewhat limited in my ability to get out and see folks in the last few weeks, I thought this was a way to let people know that I am still very interested in being their commissioner.” Oldham had open heart surgery a month ago but has had a rapid recovery. He attended the Herald's Forum and has been seen campaigning in various parts of the county. He is ready to enter heart rehabilitation and is expected to make a complete recovery. The billboard sized sign moves from place to place giving more exposure than a fixed billboard. The billboard emphasizes "Doc"s business background and calls for "New Leadership and New Direction" on the board of commissioners and gives a call that "It's Time To Get Down To Business." Oldham has been endorsed by the Sanford Herald and Friends of Lee County High School. The mobile billboard will be parked at high traffic locations from now until the election, traveling busy streets, attending events with crowds, and making a round of polling places on Election Day.
