Raleigh – North Carolina Democratic Party Chairman Wayne Goodwin released the following statement in response to the conservative outside group NC Values Coalition’s request that Representaive Rachael Hunt not be seated. 

“This is a desperate, last minute attempt to deny a seat to a lawfully-elected representative. The Mecklenburg and the State Board of Elections have both certified Rachel Hunt as HD-103’s Representative, and she will officially assume that seat (tomorrow).”
