Former state Sen. Woody White is considering running for state GOP chairman.
The Wilmington resident said he has been talking to people around the state about a possible bid, but has not yet made up his mind, Rob Christensen reports.
If should become chairman, White said he would work to expand the party.
"We have got to do a better job of reaching out and expanding our base," White said. "If you don't alter the way you deliver your message we run the risk of becoming an anachronism."
White, 39, is an attorney and former law partner of Patrick Ballantine, the GOP nominee for governor in 2004. White was appointed to Ballantine's seat, but lost in the General Election to Democrat Julia Boseman.
He served in 2004 as a member of the national party platform committee, is a former legal counsel to the state GOP, and is a former New Hanover County Republican chairman.
Guilford County stockbroker Marcus Kindley is already running for the post, while state Sen. Fred Smith is considering a run. Current chair Linda Daves said she will not seek re-election.
