The head of the N.C. Democratic Party said this week's State Board of Elections hearings are necessary to restore trust and integrity.
The elections board is investigating the campaign finance activity of former Gov. Mike Easley. Among the questions surrounding Easley is whether he used the state party to funnel illegal or improper contributions.
Party Executive Director Andrew Whalen released a statement Monday morning.
For our democracy to function effectively, it is imperative that the people
of North Carolina have confidence in the electoral process. We are
confident that a fair, impartial, and unbiased hearing by the State
Board of Elections will help restore and maintain trust in the
integrity of our political system. The North Carolina Democratic Party
has cooperated fully with the SBOE and will continue to do so
throughout this hearing.
