Fuquay-Varina, NC - Ed Ridpath today announced his 2008 candidacy for the North Carolina State House, District 37. In 2006, Ridpath, a Democrat, won 43% of the vote as a newcomer to politics in his bid to unseat three-term Republican incumbent Paul “Skip” Stam, now the Republican Minority Leader in the NC House. Ridpath made the following statement:

“After a relaxing holiday break to take time for quiet thought and much discussion, I have decided to serve again as the Democratic candidate for the North Carolina House, District 37 in 2008. Family, friends, neighbors, and supporters across North Carolina have urged me to continue to build on the many successes of our 2006 campaign.
