Educators endorse Ollie Harris The North Carolina Association of Educators’ Political Action Committee for Education has en- dorsed former Kings Mountain Senator J. Ollie Harris' candidacy for election to the North Carolina Senate. Julia Kron, president, said in a letter August 27 that Harris' "expe- rience in the General Assembly provides the best evidence of sup- port for public education in our , state. Harris' service will be of great benefit to North Carolina's teachers, parents and students." Harris, a Democrat, served nine terms from the four-county 25th Senatorial District until two years ago when he was defeated. He is opposed in November for a seat in the new 37th Senatorial District, which includes Cleveland and Rutherford Counties, by Republican Dennis Davis of Lattimore, a Crest High School teacher.
