Eagle Forum endorses Smith


The N.C. chapter of Eagle Forum has endorsed Fred Smith.

The pro-family organization founded by conservative activist Phyllis Schlafly has endorsed Smith in the race for the Republican gubernatorial nomination.

"Senator Smith has the experience and the integrity to restore trust in the governor’s office," said Eagle Forum State President Andrew Dunn in a statement. "The good people of North Carolina have had it with corruption scandals, illegal immigration and partisan politics."

He also praised Smith's 100-county barbecue tour, saying he "could easily have chosen" to concentrate on metropolitan areas.

Smith has also been endorsed by the National Rifle Association
