WILMINGTON, NC – The N.C. 7th Congressional District Republican Party is teaming up with the New Hanover County Republican Party, the Lower Cape Fear Republican Women’s Club and the Lower Cape Fear Young Republicans to sponsor a debate featuring Republican candidates for U.S. Congress (District 7), N.C. Senate (District 9) and N.C. House (District 18) in Wilmington on Tues., Apr. 20. The event begins at 7 p.m. in the County Commissioners’ Assembly Room at the New Hanover County Historic Courthouse, located at 24 N. 3rd Street in Wilmington. Max Winitz of WSFX FOX 26 News will moderate the debate, which will be streamed live on the 7th District GOP website (
http://www.ncgop7.com) and re-broadcast on Charter Cable.
Candidates scheduled to participate are Will Breazeale, Randy Crow and Ilario Pantano (U.S. Congress), Thom Goolsby and Michael Lee (N.C. Senate) and Beth Dawson and J. Michael Hutson (N.C. House).
“Under the Democrats’ one-party rule in Washington and Raleigh, we have seen unprecedented increases in spending, debt and government expansion,” says Frank Williams, Chairman of the 7th District GOP. ”The primaries on May 4 will determine which candidates carry our party’s banner this November. We invite Republicans and unaffiliated voters to attend this event or watch it on our website, get to know our candidates, determine which of them they feel should carry the Republican banner in November, and then get involved with the campaigns of their choice. This is an important election, and conservatives need all hands on deck if we are going to inject some much-needed integrity, common sense and fiscal responsibility into our government.”
The 7th District Republican Party is working with counties throughout the district to organize Congressional debates. North Carolina’s 7th Congressional District includes the following counties in southeastern North Carolina: Bladen, Brunswick, Columbus, Cumberland (part), Duplin (part), New Hanover, Pender, Robeson, Sampson (part) and Scotland (part).
