Janet CowellRalph Campbell has endorsed Janet Cowell's bid for state treasurer.

The three-term state auditor, who was the first African-American elected to statewide office, is supporting the state senator's campaign.

"After looking at the platform and qualifications of the candidates for State Treasurer it is obvious that Janet Cowell is the results based candidate that North Carolina needs," he said in a statement.

Both Campbell and Cowell are former members of the Raleigh City Council, though they did not serve at the same times.

Campbell lost a 2004 race to state Auditor Les Merritt, but he remains active in local politics.

It was my impression that Mr. Campbell is one of her paid consultants. Does anyone know if that's true?
