Whatever happened to Larry.... who beat Robin .... of Belk's fame? Did he go back to teaching or is he a lobbyist now? Would be nice if the research park in Kannapolis turned Kannapolis and Concord blue.

Larry Kissell? He’s been out of office for 12 years and doesn’t have a great reputation in NC Dem circles. We have a good bench of current and recent office holders, including in Cabarrus county—we really don’t need to go back.

Plus he didn’t even vote for Obamacare.

I was just curious, not suggesting we dig him up. More of a WATN question. We lived in Kannapolis for awhile. I don't recall Dems having much traction there. Was surprised when he won. Not surprised when he lost.
