Guilford County Commissioner Bruce Davis is feeling the heat from state Democrats who worry his independent run for the District 28 Senate seat will split the vote:
The chairman of the Guilford County Democratic Party, Tom Coley, said he worries Davis’ candidacy could threaten a legislative seat that’s been a safe one for Democrats this past decade and allow a Republican nominee to capture it in the general election. Other Democrats have expressed similar concerns, he said.
“It’s going to be Bruce’s decision. But we’re very concerned it could split our vote. If he did not do the independent (campaign), then it’s a safe Democratic seat,” Coley said.
Among Republicans running for the seat, Greensboro City Council member Trudy Wade has the name recognition. As I said earlier, it’s every man (and woman) for himself in this election. All bets are off as of Sunday evening.
