North Carolina Republican Party Embroiled in Infighting Over Senate Primary
The tight Republican primary in North Carolina has led to a conflict within the state party. Rockingham County Sheriff Sam Page is leading Senate leader Phil Berger by just twenty-three votes, with recounts ongoing. A political action committee, North Carolina True Conservatives, spent $2.8 million to back Berger and criticize Page.
The PACs treasurer, Larry Shaheen, also chairs finances for the North Carolina GOP. The Lee County Republican Party plans to vote on a resolution to remove Shaheen due to a perceived conflict of interest. Shaheen used party donor information for his PAC, breaking neutrality rules, according to Lee County GOP chair Jim Womack.
Shaheen defends himself, calling it a misunderstanding and pointing out that locals often support favorites privately. He also notes that Womack supported his wife in a recent primary. Other counties may follow Lee County in pushing against Shaheen, highlighting tensions over money and loyalty in North Carolina Republicans.
