Wayne Goodwin not laboring
A couple folks sent this link regarding Wayne Goodwin not running for labor commissioner my way. From the post:
I will not be a candidate for North Carolina Commissioner of Labor in 2008.This decision affords me the opportunity to further focus on the needs of my family, the most immediate members of which still are impacted by the rigors and fundraising pressures of my 2004 bid.
This decision also affords me the opportunity to continue my full-time duties serving as Assistant Commissioner of Insurance under the outstanding leadership of Insurance Commissioner Jim Long and to volunteer for him in his 2008 campaign for re-election.
He made the same announcement on his own blog.
I've seen Goodwin wielding the gavel at several statewide Democratic Party events over the past year. And during the legislative session, you can catch him around the legislative building either lobbying on behalf or against bills his department has an interest in or waiting to drive home with his wife, state Rep. Melanie Wade Goodwin.
So who's going to run to have their picture plastered in elevators across the state?
