Gordon Vermillion is running for the NC State Senate seat being vacated by Charlie Albertson. The seat represents the voters of Duplin, Sampson and Lenoir counties.
Gordon and Linda, his wife of 45 years, moved to Kinston nearly 30 years ago. They have raised two sons, educated them in the public schools and state universities, and now they each serve their own communities.
In 1981, Gordon bought a struggling food service company and built the largest independent food service company in Eastern North Carolina. He sold Vermillion's Vending in 1999 and has owned and operated a number of other small businesses over the years.
Most recently, he started Select Food Service for the Mingles Bottling Group and serves as General Manager. He understands what it takes to meet a payroll while paying bills, taxes and utilities.
Community service isn't a job, it's a passion. Gordon has served two terms on the Kinston City Council and is currently president of the Lenoir Committee of 100 along with numerous other boards and advisory committees.
