Hackney elected minority leader

Posted on December 23, 2010 by Staff

Rep. Joe Hackney, whose district includes constituents in Orange and Chatham counties, was unanimously elected minority leader for the upcoming session of the N.C. House of Representatives.
Hackney, who has served as speaker since 2007, said the Democratic party caucus would focus on quality education, job creation and a fair redistricting process.
“We know what kind of North Carolina the people of this state have come to expect,” Hackney said. “They want us to protect education at all levels. They want us to protect investment in job creation programs and they want a chance to fairly elect the people who represent them. We will join with Republicans when they are on the right path, but we will vigorously oppose any efforts to undermine progress in these areas.”
