Marshall at White House (News and Observer)
Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Elaine Marshall attended a White House Christmas Party Tuesday night.
Marshall, who is North Carolina’s secretary of state, was among hundreds of state officials from across the country who were invited.
Other Democratic North Carolinians attending included state Rep. Verla Insko of Chapel Hill, state Rep. Pricey Harrison of Greensboro, Durham Mayor Bill Bell and state Treasurer Janet Cowell.
So that means on Tuesday, three North Carolina Senate candidates were having some sort of interaction with President Barack Obama: Republican U.S. Sen. Richard Burr was appearing at a rally to protest the president’s health care plan, Democratic candidate Cal Cunningham was taking a call fromObama in his hometown in Lexington, and Marshall was attending a White House party.
