The N&Rs Doug Clark takes a look at the upcoming Democratic primary race for state senator between incumbent Sen. Katie Dorsett and Guilford County Commissioner Bruce Davis.
So far, it looks like it will be a nice campaign:
Davis professed the “utmost respect” for Dorsett, a retired A&T professor and former Greensboro city councilwoman, county commissioner and member of Gov. Jim Hunt’s cabinet. He offered no criticism of her record. Instead, he said he represents a “different generation” and “fresh, new leadership.”
Davis is 50. Is he playing the age issue? “Absolutely not,” he said, adding: “I don’t know if it’s good to stay in office too long. You become a part of the system.”
UNCG political expert Thom Little said “nothing about Dorsett indicates she is weak politically. Nothing? Not even her involvement with the N.C. Legislative Black Political Caucus?
