White House Chief of Staff under
President Clinton, on Thursday, slight
ing the other Democratic U.S. Senate
candidates running to fill the seat being
vacated by Sen. Jesse Helms, R-N.C.
Rep. Dan Blue, D-Wake, and N.C.
Secretary of State Elaine Marshall are
Bowles’ primary competition for the
Democratic nomination.
Former Red Cross President
Elizabeth Dole is the leading Republican
contender. Dole has been endorsed by
both Helms and President Bush.
Susan Lagana, press secretary for the
Bowles campaign, said Hunt’s endorse
ment would likely translate into addi
tional support for the candidate.
“Governor Hunt is one of the most
popular political figures in North
Carolina,” she said. “His proven success
in getting things done and getting the sup
port of North Carolinians is undisputed."
She said the endorsement of Hunt,
who served four terms as N.C. governor,
will be a major asset to the campaign.
Thad Beyle, UNC political science
professor, said the endorsement is a vital
boost for Bowles, who according to a
recent Elon University polls has less
name recognition than Dole.
“Hunt wanted to put a little push on the
side of Bowles,” Beyle said.
Beyle said Hunt’s endorsement will
reactivate the political machine that sup
ported Terry Sanford, who served as both
N.C. governor and U.S. senator, and
aided the election of numerous
Democrats, including Hunt

Beyle said Hunt’s endorsement
would likely have a negative effect on
the campaigns of other Democrats con
tending for the seat.
Beyle said many of the other
Democratic candidates were hoping to
get Hunt’s endorsement. “They’re not
happy,” he said.
Beyle added that the mix of Hunt’s
decision to endorse Bowles and lawsuits
that have delayed the campaign pri
maries might prompt other Democrats
to drop out of the race.
But some of Bowles’ leading com
petitors questioned whether he could
adequately represent N.C. citizens.
Blue stated in a press release that
Bowles’ support comes primarily from
party insiders and financial donors.
Marshall criticized Hunt in a press
release, claiming his actions might split the
party. “Governor Hunt once stated that he
believed his role in this primary was to be
the healer of the Democratic Party,” she
stated. “His announcement does not show
he is dedicated to that goal.”
