Trudy wade nc state senate

Former state Sen. Dr. Trudy Wade has been nominated by the North Carolina Republican Party for one of the two vacant seats on the North Carolina State Board of Elections.

The NC GOP nominated six people for the two open seats and Gov.

Roy Cooper will pick two to serve on the State Board of Elections following the resignations of the two Republican members of the five-member board.

Wade served in the North Carolina state Senate from 2012 to 2018. When elected to the state Senate she was a member of the Greensboro City Council representing District 5.

Wade also served on the Guilford County Board of Commissioners from 2000 to 2006.

Wade knows something about election law because, in 2004, after being announced the winner on election night, additional provisional ballots were found by the elections office that gave her opponent, John Parks, the majority.

Wade sued over those provisional ballots and hundreds were thrown out by the courts.

The final decision on the race was not made
