A self-employed trucker is running for the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate.
Duskin Lassiter, 37, of Lexington said he would focus on restoring manufacturing jobs, creating universal health coverage, improving border protection and increasing the minimum wage to $12 an hour.
"I am not a politician, lawyer or even wealthy," Lassiter said in a video on his Web site. "I am a self-employee small-businessman who has personally felt the impact of bad economic policies over the past few years."
He has driven freight to other states for more than a decade.
He faces Chapel Hill investment banker Jim Neal and state Sen. Kay Hagan in the primary. (AP)
