Buncombe County's Martin Nesbitt gains No. 2 spot in NC Senate
Buncombe legislator to boost influence for WNC
RALEIGH (Asheville Citizen-Times) - Martin Nesbitt isn't known for toeing the party line. Over nearly three decades in the House and Senate, he has been a loyal lieutenant of some Democratic leaders and a thorn in the side of others.
But in his new job, the Asheville senator will try to keep 30 Senate Democrats speaking with one voice.
“I'm changing roles right now. I've been a warrior,” Nesbitt said, emerging from the room where Democratic senators voted unanimously Tuesday to name him Senate majority leader.
