NC Secretary of State Race Recovers Spotlight in Raleigh
In Raleigh on July 14 the nomination battle for Secretary of State features Stacey Wade opposed by Thad Brue and M. R. Dunnagan. Rumors say Brue plans to move the enrolling office to the General Assembly, shrinking Wade’s patronage role. The 1983 cap on clerks once limited staff numbers, yet many were relatives of lawmakers, and a Revenue Act omission by Wade’s office during late 1935 raises controversy.
