Lt. governor candidate to speak at Rowan Democrats meeting
Published 12:10 am Tuesday, August 25, 2015
Democratic candidate for lieutenant governor Linda Coleman will speak at the Rowan County Democratic Party’s annual potluck picnic on Thursday.
The picnic will start at 6 p.m. at Shoaf’s Wagon Wheel on Highway 601. In addition to Coleman, candidates who are registered Democrats and are running in municipal elections have also been invited to speak.
Coleman, formerly a member of the N.C. House and state personnel director, also ran in 2012 for lieutenant governor. She lost in a tight race to current Lt. Gov. Dan Forest, a Republican. Forest is expected to seek a second term, setting up a rematch in 2016.
Coleman has also served as chairwoman of the Wake County Board of Commissioners.
On her website, Coleman says she wants to give “middle class families a fighting chance again.”
