Sigmon to challenge McHenry


Lance Sigmon will run against U.S. Rep. Patrick McHenry.

In a Christmas video message on his Web site, the retired Air Force officer says he will challenge McHenry in the Republican primary.

"I served my country for 21 years in the Air Force and would be privileged to serve again in Congress," he says.

He says he has been concerned about the "respect and attention" the district has received.

Sigmon earned a degree in accounting and economics from Western Carolina University in 1985 and a law degree from Wake Forest University. He then served as a judge advocate general in the Air Force.

He formed an exploratory committee earlier this fall.

Re: Sigmon to challenge McHenry

Interesting. I wonder if this Lance will find out about who Patrick really is. If the secrets come out, the GOP will be in trouble.
