Today, Rob Christensen profiles Jim Neal, Kay Hagan’s main opposition in the Senate Democratic primary:
Despite his background in big business and large-scale political fundraising, Neal says he has fewer ties to special interests than other candidates. Neal’s major rival in the May 6 Democratic primary is state Sen. Kay Hagan of Greensboro, who has the backing of much of the party establishment. Three other Democrats are waging lower-profile, long-shot campaigns for the nomination.
“This is the year when Americans will own our democracy,” Neal recently told a Democratic gathering in Winston-Salem.
What bothers me about Neal’s business career is he seems to have jumped around a lot, something that never looks good on a resume.
