DURHAM, N.C. (AP) - North Carolina Rep. Mel Watt has endorsed attorney Ken Lewis in his bid for U.S. Senate.
The congressman said Monday that Lewis can bring new ideas and perspectives to Washington. Lewis is looking for the Democratic nomination to challenge Republican Sen. Richard Burr.
Lewis faces two other well-financed Democrats, and Watt acknowledged in his statement that there are three "well-qualified Democratic candidates." Lewis is the only one of the three without political experience, and Watt said that was "a benefit and not a shortcoming."
Watt's congressional district spreads along the Interstate 85 corridor from Charlotte to Winston-Salem.
