RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) - North Carolina Secretary of State Elaine Marshall said she's committed to a primary contest for the U.S. Senate seat now held by Republican Richard Burr.
The News & Observer of Raleigh reported Thursday that Marshall said she was committed to pursuing the Senate seat despite her husband's death less than two weeks ago.
Marshall said she was not put off by the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee recruiting former state Sen. Cal Cunningham of Lexington into the race.
Chapel Hill lawyer Kenneth Lewis is also seeking the Democratic nomination.
Marshall said she would have enough money to run a competitive race in the May Democratic primary and looked forward to the DSCC's financial backing in the general election.
