First step in the Marshall plan

[ccharles000]

N.C. Secretary of State Elaine Marshall made her candidacy official today, filing paperwork to run for the U.S. Senate.

Appearing at the State Board of Elections and surrounded by a dozen supporters, Marshall presented herself as the candidate in the Democratic primary with a record for taking on Wall Street, protecting small investors, and helping businesses, Lynn Bonner reports.

"The voters have something they can rely upon rather than folks that make very good stump speeches but don't have a track record," Marshall said. "I think that's a clear distinction between the candidates."

Three other candidates are running for the Democratic nomination: former state Sen. Cal Cunningham, a lawyer from Lexington, Chapel Hill lawyer Ken Lewis, and Lumberton lawyer Marcus Williams. U.S. Sen. Richard Burr, the Republican Marshall hopes to challenge, filed his paperwork with the state Board of Elections on Monday morning, though he did not deliver it in person.
