SEANC PAC makes no endorsement in governor race
Editor's note: The poll numbers in the final item have been corrected since this story was published.
The State Employees Association of North Carolina PAC endorsed a slate of legislative candidates representing a range of political views,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. On what other endorsement list would Democratic Rep. Paul Luebke of Durham and Republican Rep,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. Nelson Dollar of Cary both find a spot?
Notably absent from the list of endorsees are candidates for governor or state treasurer. Lt. Gov. Walter Dalton, the Democratic candidate for governor,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and Republican candidate Pat McCrory were interviewed and neither got the nod. Nor did SEANC make endorsements for state Insurance Commissioner,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Labor Commissioner,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], or Agriculture Commissioner either.
There aren a lot of competitive contests,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but SEANC-endorsed candidates are eligible for PAC donations and other assistance. In 2008, SEIU,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a union associated with SEANC,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], contributed $1.2 million to the state Democratic Party, spent $410,000 on state races,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and gave $250,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],000 to an independent group that ran ads attacking McCrory.
In statewide races were it did make choices this year,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the PAC endorsed Democratic candidates including Linda Coleman for lieutenant governor,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], incumbent state Auditor Beth Wood, incumbent Superintendent for Public Instruction June Atkinson and incumbent Secretary of State Elaine Marshall.
Dana Cope, SEANC executive director,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], said the reason the PAC didn endorse in the governor race is that candidate spoke to their issues, the issues they feel strongly about. Those issues,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], he said,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], are providing public services and doing it at the most efficient price point for the taxpayers. the treasurer race, SEANC is not only unhappy over the pension system Facebook investment, but it has a longstanding concern about the state treasurer being the person who chooses the firms that handle pension fund investments. role
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie on Monday morning declared North Carolina should be nicknamed as state of consequence. in Tampa,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Fla. to the North Carolina delegation breakfast, Christie said what happened in states such as New Jersey or California did not really matter,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], because they were certain to go Democrat.
He said North Carolina was one of only 10 states that would decide the election,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and said he would campaign so often here in the next couple of months will think I running for governor of North Carolina. will give the keynote address to the Republican National Convention Tuesday night.
Christie has already campaigned twice in North Carolina, appearing at a fund raiser for GOP gubernatorial candidate Pat McCrory last year in Greensboro and recently attending a fund raiser for presidential candidate Mitt Romney in Raleigh. He said he expected to be back for McCrory in a couple of weeks.
He said there were two reasons why he was campaigning for the former Charlotte mayor.
only will Pat McCrory make a great governor, Christie said, I served with Bev Perdue. So I know North Carolina needs a change. But among likely voters it swings the opposite way, with Romney ahead 1 point, 48 to 47 percent. Both results remain within the poll 3.5 point margin of error,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], making the race a statistical tie.
About eight in 10 voters says their mind is made up. The survey is the first since Paul Ryan joined the GOP ticket,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], showing the pick didn significantly shift the race.
