King to chair
district GOP
Over 190 Republican dele-
gates representing all 10 coun-
ties in North Carolina’s Tenth
Congressional District gath-
ered at the Little Theater in
Cherryville Saturday to elect
officers to lead the District
Party for the next two years.
Delegates unanimously
elected former Cleveland
County GOP Chairman Wayne
King, of Kings Mountain, to
serve as District Chairman.
King follows former Mitchell
County Commissioner Bill
Slagle as chairman of the Party.
Slagle did not seek reelection
and supported King.
“I am extremely honored to
be elected and look forward to
working (with) my fellow offi-
cers and party activists in the
district. The 10th has tradition-
ally been one of the most Re-
publican districts in the
Southeast and we’re going to
work hard to make sure it stays
that way,” said King.
“Our district has an excel-
lent standard-bearer in Con-
gressman Patrick McHenry
and this party stands solidly
behind him as he fights for our
conservative values in Wash-
ington.”
McHenry attended the con-
vention as a delegate from
Gaston County and addressed
those assembled.
“Wayne was a great Party
Chairman in Cleveland County
and I have every confidence he
will take our party to a new
level,” McHenry said.
King recognized the contri-
butions that every county’s
GOP has made to the district’s
success in the past but paid
particular tribute to’ delegates
from Catawba County. It has
been a tumultuous month for
Catawba Republicans.
The State Republican Party
ruled the Party as unorganized
after previous party leaders vi-
olated the NCGOP’s rules for
organizing their county GOP
convention. The NCGOP
stepped in to organize new
precinct meetings and a new
convention after over 150
duly-elected delegates were
Wayne King
turned away from the original
convention.
“I want to be very clear
about the situation in Catawba
County,” King said. “I am very
happy to have a new slate of
officers who want to work in a
cooperative spirit with the rest
of the district rather than focus
on infighting which has been
the unfortunate case in the past
few years. Catawba Chairman
Bill Shillito and his team are a
first-class group and I look for-
ward to the great things they
are going to do in our District’s
largest county.”
King began his political ac-
tivism as a teen when he man-
aged State Senator Debbie
Clary’s campaigns during her
days in the State House. Since
then he has worked on numer-
ous campaigns and was elected
a delegate to the 2004 and
2008 Republican National
Conventions.
King and his wife Pam are
residents of Kings Mountain.
They have a daughter, Court-
ney and a son, Noah.
Other officers elected on
Saturday are:
Wayne Rash of Caldwell
County — First Vice Chairman
Michelle Stewart of
Catawba County — Second
Vice Chairman
Susanne Sellers of Lincoln
County — Third Vice Chairman
Laurie Moody of Burke
County — Secretary
Kathy Livsie of Cleveland
County - Treasurer.
