She served six years (three terms) in the North Carolina Senate, representing part of Mecklenburg County as a Democrat.

Persons who have demonstrated a lifetime of service to the State may qualify." 〔(【引用サイトリンク】website=http://longleafpinesociety.org/order-of-the-long-leaf-pine/ )〕 Winner is currently on the boards of The Well of Mercy, the Jewish Heritage Society, and Made in Durham. In the past, she has served on the Board of Trustees for UNC Asheville and the UNC Charlotte Foundation. In February 2013, Winner said that she was “surprised and disappointed” by a politically charged memo distributed by Blueprint North Carolina, a Reynolds Foundation grantee and 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization.“(Z. Smith Reynolds) believes in robust debate on issues of public importance, (it) does not support attacking people,” Winner said. “We were disappointed to learn that Blueprint is advocating this strategy…We are taking this seriously. We are determining our options and our obligations. We will get to the bottom of it.” The memo in question recommended “crippling” Republican leaders in the N.C. governor’s office and legislature. It also suggested that GOP leaders be “eviscerated” and that Republican Gov. Pat McCrory be slammed “when he contradicts his promises.” ==References== *(ZSR Staff ) *(Winston-Salem Journal: UNC lawyer, an advocate for poor, to lead foundation ) *(UNC Press Release ) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Leslie Winner」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
