Mary Ann Baldwin makes it official this afternoon

UPDATE:

Please see comments titled "Mary-Ann Baldwin" posted under comments for Frank's posting with more details and the complete letter sent by Baldwin.

Since I did not see the email, which I assume went to SEC members, I went to N&O's site (after reading about her announcement from WBTV). Her announcement letter is posted at www.newsobserver.com in Under the Dome for others who might be interested but who are also not on her mailing list.

I hope both announced candidates (and any other who might make a last minute leap into the race) will be willing to post here on BlueNC, as many readers need to know more before Saturday's meeting of the State Executive Committee and the election of a new Chair.

Mary Ann is a communications professional. Hopefully, she will take advantage of the opportunity to share her thoughts and plans in the future with progressives via BlueNC.
