The Wake County Republican Party Tuesday announced its endorsements for the school board and Raleigh City Council election this fall.<\/p>\n
The party\u2019s executive committee endorsed Billie Redmond for mayor. Redmond will take on current councilor Nancy McFarlane and fellow Republican Dr. Randall Williams.<\/p>\n
Between the two races this fall, the Republican Party is only backing two incumbent candidates. John Odom represents District B on the Raleigh City Council and is running unopposed.<\/p>\n
Ron Margiotta chairs the Wake school board and has been a leading proponent for the Republican majority on the board. He will face Susan Evans of Apex.<\/p>\n
Technically, the elections are nonpartisan, but parties can still endorse candidates and spend money to help campaigns.<\/p>\n
Early voting begins Sept. 22 and the election is Oct.11.<\/p>\n
