State Sen. Fred Smith of Clayton said he has not made a decision on whether to run for state GOP chairman.
Smith said he is interested in the post, but he also busy managing his real estate and construction companies through the downturn, Rob Christensen reports. He noted that he just came through a two-year period in which he spent a considerable amount of his time and substantial amounts of money seeking the Republican nomination for governor.
"Right now," Smith said, "My issue involves....whether I feel I can devote the time and energy and passion to the job it deserves."
