That’s what my sources tell me this evening. I talked to a couple of typically excellent sources this evening who tell me that NCCo President Chris Bullock will not run for a second term. A variety of reasons were offered, not the least of which is that his church is experiencing some turmoil and he wants to address that full time. According to these same sources, NCCo Rep Penrose Hollins would run for NCCo President. If so, I’d say it’s about damned time. Announcements from both men are expected as early as tomorrow.
It sounds as if this has been in the works since just before Christmas. And if this plays out, then we’d be looking at a Special Election for the 4th District seat should Hollins win for NCCo President. So the field would then be:
NCCo Exec:
Tom Gordon and Stephanie Hansen
NCCo President:
Karen Hartley-Nagle and Penrose Hollins
What have you heard? Post your thoughts and comments below.
EDIT: This is a copy of the Press Release announcing that he won’t run:
