A few more names have floated for Democratic Party chair.
Two insiders are considering moving up. Dannie Montgomery, currently the first vice chair and a longtime Anson County activist, is reportedly interested in the position, as is Luke Hyde of Bryson City, currently the 11th Congressional District chair.
In addition, Clinton fundraiser Richard Sullivan may be interested in either the chairmanship or a finance position.
As previously reported, Statesville attorney David Parker and state Rep. Grier Martin may also be candidates.
A Democratic insider tells Dome that all of the candidates are holding back from making too public of a race until Gov.-elect Beverly Perdue sends a clear signal of what she wants.
Current chair Jerry Meek will step down at the end of January.
Update: Martin says that he's not running.
"It's not anything that I'm interested in," he said.
