As noted in today's story, Gov. Bev Perdue is still sitting on $1.26 million as her would-be Democratic successor struggled to raise money. More details from her report:
Perdue started the year with $2 million. Since July, she directed $250,000 to the state Democratic Party and refunded $243,000 to individual donors. A campaign aide said she also gave $4,000 to Dalton, but the donation is not reflected in the records.
The N.C. Democratic Party has begun a process to replace Executive Director Jay Parmley, who resigned Sunday after allegations surfaced about the sexual harassment of a party staffer and a secret financial settlement.
But it sounds like the process of finding a replacement -- which is especially important with North Carolina as a battleground state in this election -- won't happen immediately.
David Parker, the embattled party chairman, who is facing calls for his resignation, sent an email to party officials Tuesday naming a search committee that includes the eventual winner of the May 8 Democratic primary for governor.
The Democrats for decades have had their annual Jefferson-Jackson fund raising dinner in Raleigh.
But on Saturday, some 400 to 500 Democrats are expected to gather at the Durham Marriott Convention Center, Rob Christensen reports.
David Young, the state Democratic chairman, said he wanted to see the Jefferson-Jackson Dinner moved around periodically and he said Durham was a good place to start because of its strong Democratic showing in last year’s election.
The featured speaker at the $100-per plate dinner is national Democratic chairman Tim Kaine, the governor of Virginia. North Carolina Gov. Beverly Perdue invited Kaine, and she will be on hand to play host.
The appearance by Kaine is another indication that the Obama administration is paying a lot of attention to North Carolina. Both President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama have visited the state.
