NC GOP pushes strategy in House speaker's district
PITTSBORO (AP) - North Carolina Republicans say they're conceding very few seats in the General Assembly to the Democrats in the fall elections.
GOP legislative leaders and party Chairman Tom Fetzer sought to symbolize efforts to win majorities in the House and Senate with a news conference on Thursday in Pittsboro in the district of Democratic House Speaker Joe Hackney.
Republicans have candidates in all 50 Senate districts and all but nine of the 120 House districts, including Cathy Wright, who is challenging Hackney.
State Democratic Party Executive Director Andrew Whalen said in a release the Republicans won't succeed, calling them obstructionists while Democrats have tried to create jobs during the economic downturn.
Democrats have controlled the Senate continuously and the House all but six years since the late 1890s.
