The New Hanover Democratic Party asked Rep. Thomas Wright to resign.

According to WWAY news, party chairman Jim Morgan said the party has told the Wilmington Democrat he should step down.

"Given the seriousness of the indictments and the fact that the Board of Elections had suspended his campaign, we have come to the conclusion that it would be in Mr. Wright's best interest as well as the best interest of his constituents that he step down to focus on his defense and allow the democratic party to find a replacement."
