The North Carolina Association of Educators is trying to take out Democratic Rep. William Brisson of Dublin for voting for the Republican budget last year.
The NCAE PAC has endorsed Matt Dixon, Brisson's Democratic challenger in the House District 22 that includes parts of Bladen, Sampson and Johnston Counties.
Since there is no Republican running, the winner of the May 8th primary will win the seat.
The NCAE charges that Brisson's vote for the Republican budget cost 220 local education jobs in the three counties. They also criticize him for backing a GOP-backed bill to end the payroll dues check off for the NCAE.
