You can count Wake County school board chairwoman Rosa Gill as one of the candidates who want to fill the District 14 seat of state Senator Vernon Malone.
Gill said she will be among the speakers who will make their case to replace Malone, who died April 18, at a forum Saturday sponsored by the Raleigh-Wake Citizens Association, a civil-rights organization.
While the forum won't determine who will get the seat, the RWCA will make a recommendation to the Wake County Democratic Party after the meeting.
Malone's replacement will be named May 6 at a meeting run by the Wake County Democratic Party. The meeting is at 6 p.m. at the Wake County Commons Building, 4011 Carya Drive in Raleigh. Jack Nichols, chairman of the Wake Democratic Party, said each nominated candidate will have five minutes to speak at the meeting.
About 60 people are eligible to vote for Malone's replacement, including school board member Lori Millberg.
Millberg told Gill that one of the other candidates, whom she did not name, had the "bad taste" of lobbying her for the position even before Malone was buried on Thursday.

So far, Marlowe W. Foster, a lobbyist with Pfizer; and Bernard Allen Jr., the son of a former representative, have both announced they'll run.
Other rumored candidates include Alexander Killens, former director of the state's Division of Motor Vehicles; and state Rep. Dan Blue, a former House speaker.
Even if Gill isn't appointed to replace Malone, there's another possibility. She might be appointed to fill Blue's seat if he's named the new senator.
If you want to go to Saturday's forum, it will be held at 10 a.m. at the Seby Jones Fine Arts Building at St. Augustine's College in Raleigh.

Wed, 03/16/2011 - 04:54 — stevejobs14This is politics at its best. I lived in Virginia for 7 years and, by comparison, the Wake County School is atrocious. Pulling few known students out of this school system was the best money I ever spent.----I do think it..

He served as a Wake County commissioner from 1980 until his election to the Senate in 2002. I think Rosa Gill can't fit Vernon Malone's shoes. motorcycle travel

Malone, a former Wake school
Tue, 06/30/2009 - 13:35 — Danny11Malone, a former Wake school board chair, former Wake County commissioner and a four-term state senator, was considered Southeast Raleigh's senior statesman when he passed away suddenly at age 77. That title now went to Blue. So I guess no point in discussing about Rosa Gill. Hallucinogenic plants

Millberg or Gill ....NO !
Thu, 05/28/2009 - 09:33 — NoNewGunControlMillberg and Gill are two of the genius members of the School Board who voted to have school on Memorial Day. With thinking like that, neither should ever be considered for anything except permanent retirement.
oh and Millberg is just full

I say good riddance!
Wed, 04/29/2009 - 14:08 — g88ky07Just give her the Vern's seat, then WE can get on with competent people replacing all these folks who've had enough or think they are entitled to bigger roles!
Go get 'em Rosa and leave our children alone! You've accomplished nothing since sitting in the Queen's seat except adding more chaos to our system!

Wed, 04/29/2009 - 15:22 — CaryCurmudgeonIf the current board were to appoint Rosa's replacement, then you could expect more of the same. Ideal would be for this process to drag out until after elections, then the NEW board would appoint her replacement. Just dreaming here.
