Richard Sullivan is considering running for Democratic chairman.
A highly successful fundraiser for Bill and Hillary Clinton, Sullivan said he has been asked by "numerous activists" to run for chairman of the N.C. Democratic Party.
"I am giving it thought," he said.
Sullivan, 44, currently works as director of marketing for Lovell, Mitchell and Bart, a law firm with offices in Seattle and New York. He said one consideration for him is the time commitment.
"People have generally treated it as a full-time job," he said. "I know Jerry Meek pretty much did it full time."
Current party vice chairman Dannie Montgomery has declared her interest in the job. Unlike her, Sullivan has not had an official role in the party before.
Statesville attorney David Parker is also reportedly interested.
The party's executive committee will decide in late January.
