Horton Announces Candidacy For Senate In North Carolina
State Sen. Hamilton C. Horton of Winston-Salem announced his bid for the Republican nomination to the U.S. Senate. Horton, a three term legislator, cited the North Carolina way and economic efficiency as his driving goals while aligning with Jesse Helms on local solutions. The move follows Wilmer Mizell’s withdrawal, leaving a weak GOP field as Horton met with Gov. Jim Holfhouser and aide Gene Anderson before traveling to Raleigh. In other news, the North Carolina Consumers Council urged Atty. Gen. Robert Morgan to resign before the May 7 primaries, arguing the lack of resignation harms the primary process. Morgan defended himself, saying the council members hadn’t been informed of Mrs. Lilian Woo’s stance. Also, two candidates filed for the fourth district seat: Democrat Ike Andrews and Republican Ward Purrington.
