Republican delegates elected retired Salisbury doctor Ada Fisher to the Republican National Committee on Saturday.

Fisher, 60, could be the first black Republican elected to the committee from North Carolina, Jim Morrill reports.

She ran unsuccessfully in 2004 and 2006 for the 12th Congressional District and for the U.S. Republican nomination for the U.S. Senate in 2002.

Her election follows the election last weekend of South Carolina Republican Glenn McCall. Fisher and McCall will be two of three Republicans on the Republican National Committee when it reconvenes.

Fisher upset establishment candidate Mary Frances Forrester, the wife of Sen. Jim Forrester.

"We're going to have a look that reflects the party and the people," Fisher said.

I was one of the three delegates allowed by convention rules to 2nd the nomination of Ada Fisher. I do not have the exact count at hand, but i do believe it was not close.
