Moore in Perdue's backyard


Richard Moore is headed to Beverly Perdue's backyard.

On Friday, Moore, the state treasurer and a Democratic candidate for governor, will campaign in New Bern, Perdue's hometown, Ben Niolet reports.

Moore is meeting with riverkeepers in New Bern on Friday afternoon to talk about the Neuse River, Pamlico Sound, water quality and pollution, said Moore campaign manager Jay Reiff.

Moore will then take a flight to get a look at the bodies of water from the air. Later Friday, Moore has a fundraiser in the city of Washington.

"Eastern North Carolina is an important area," Reiff said.

Reiff was quick to point out that New Bern is Perdue’s "adopted hometown." She was born in Virginia and moved to New Bern in 1975.

On Tuesday, Moore will be in Henderson, near his hometown of Oxford.
