The Black Political Caucus of Charlotte-Mecklenburg endorsed Hampton Dellinger.
Dellinger and a Democratic rival for the lieutenant governor nomination, state Sen. Walter Dalton, met with the caucus membership Sunday night at the Little Rock AME Zion Church.
"The large crowd of caucus members and candidates present showed how important the group's endorsement is," Dellinger sad in a statement.
Gubernatorial candidates Bob Orr and Beverly Perdue, U.S. Senate candidates Kay Hagan and Jim Neal, and Treasurer candidates Janet Cowell, Michael Weisel and David Young also attended.
The caucus is one of four major black voters' groups in a major North Carolina city that routinely makes political endorsements.
