Three Democratic candidates for lieutenant governor will meet.
Winston-Salem City Councilman Dan Besse, attorney Hampton Dellinger and Canton Mayor Pat Smathers will be in a forum Saturday at the annual meeting of the Progressive Democrats of North Carolina.
State Sen. Walter Dalton is not expected to attend.
The meeting will be held at 106 Purefoy Road in Chapel Hill. It also will feature a panel discussion with representatives of N.C. Voters for Clean Elections, People of Faith Against the Death Penalty, the N.C. Housing Coalition and Clean Water North Carolina.
Keynote speakers will be the Rev. William J. Barber, president of the state NAACP, and Marisol Jimenez-McGee, advocacy director for El Pueblo.
After the candidate forum, members of the Progressive Democrats will decide whether to endorse a candidate for lieutenant governor.

Re: Lt. Gov. candidates to meet
Great, special interest groups that are Pro-Amnesty will be the keynote speakers. Let's deport them first and then start in on the Illegals next.
