Raleigh, N.C. — A forum for Senate candidates was held Saturday during the North Carolina NAACP’s Mid-Winter Conference in Raleigh.

State Sen. Cal Cunningham, of Lexington, Chapel Hill attorney Ken Lewis and Lumberton lawyer Marcus Williams attended the forum at the Hilton North Raleigh Midtown, 3415 Wake Forest Road. The Democrats are seeking to unseat Republican Sen. Richard Burr in November.

Libertarian candidate Michael Beitler of Oak Ridge, who will also be on the fall ballot, attended the event as well.

The candidates shared their views on education, jobs, health care and the economy.

The state NAACP and 90 partner organizations that make up the Historic Thousands on Jones Street Coalition sponsored the forum.

Pretty sad that WRAL has chosen to abandon objective journalism in order to pander to racist groups such as NAACP. WRAL goes out of its way to not offend this organiztion & to censor comments which portray this organization in an unfavorable way. WRAL should be ashamed!

Why would one waste their attending or reporting or even reading this trash that is constantly repeated by the N&O, WRAL, and the NAACP??? A forum that only includes your choice candidates? Get real.
