NCDP Chairman David Parker Comments on Tonight’s Election Results
Raleigh, NC—North Carolina Democratic Party Chairman David Parker issued the following statements regarding tonight’s elections:
Parker on the Raleigh Mayoral race:
“Congratulations to Nancy McFarlane, the new mayor of our Capital city. Nancy’s record of supporting positive job growth, improving transportation and protecting our environment are just a few of the many reasons why Democrats, Republicans and Independents came out strong in support of her campaign. Raleigh has consistently been named as one of the best places in the country to live and we know that Nancy will keep it that way--her dedication to Raleigh is simply unrivaled and I am confident that she will be an outstanding Mayor.”
Parker on Susan Evans’ victory over Wake School Board Chairman Ron Margiotta:
“Congratulations to Susan Evans for defeating Tea Party ringleader Ron Margiotta. I have no doubt that Susan will work hard to restore the confidence, trust and integrity lost under Margiotta’s failed leadership of the Wake County School Board. Ron Margiotta’s days of making Wake County Schools the butt of national jokes is now over.”
Parker on Wake County elections:
"I want to congratulate all of our fantastic candidates as well as all of the dedicated volunteers and staff who worked long hours to make this happen. I would also like to send a special thank you to Mack Paul, Chairman of the Wake County Democratic Party. Without Mack’s hard work and commitment, this comeback for our schools would not be possible. Mack's dedication to the future of Wake County is beyond question.”
