Dannie Montgomery is running for chair of the N.C. Democratic Party.
On Nov. 30, the longtime Anson County activist, currently serving as first vice chair, e-mailed members of the party's executive committee to declare her candidacy.
"I am a Democrat and don’t need to be asked what I ALREADY know is the 'right' thing," she wrote. "As your chair, I will passionately and responsibly meet the challenges of maintaining North Carolina as a 'blue' state by recruiting and electing great candidates to lead North Carolina and the nation."
Montgomery served as Anson County Democratic Party chair from 1999 to 2005 and has been on the party's executive committee since 1999 and was a superdelegate for Barack Obama this year. She previously ran unsuccessfully for county commissioner.
She is seeking to replace Jerry Meek, who will step down at the end of January.
Montgomery is the only announced candidate for the job.
