Wake County Democrats nominated Wendell attorney Darren Jackson for state House.

Jackson ran unsuccessfully in 2002 against Rep. Sam Ellis and lost the Democratic primary to Rep. Linda Coleman in 2004.

Coleman is stepping down to head the Office of State Personnel under Gov. Beverly Perdue.

Jackson was one of three people who ran for the nomination for the House District 39 seat at a Democratic meeting Thursday.

The others were Wake County commissioner Lindy Brown and former Wake County commissioner candidate Don Mial.

The nomination now heads to Perdue, who will make the official appointment.
