DURHAM
The Democratic candidates for U.S. Senate in North Carolina are getting a chance to speak with party leaders and rank-and-file activists at a pair of events.
Primary candidates can speak on Saturday at a meeting of the North Carolina Democratic Party state executive committee in Durham. The candidates also can attend a forum Monday night at Winston-Salem State University.
State Sen. Cal Cunningham of Lexington, Chapel Hill attorney Ken Lewis and Secretary of State Elaine Marshall have raised the most money and built the largest campaign staffs so far.
Lumberton lawyer Marcus Williams, Ann Worthy of Gastonia and Susan Fort of Old Fort also are running.
The primary winner will face Republican Richard Burr in the November general election.
