“On behalf of the Wake County Republican Party, we respect Jerry’s personal decision to withdraw from the school board race,” said Wake GOP Chairman Claude E. Pope, Jr. ”We appreciate all of his hard work on his campaign as well as his position on the key issues at hand. Jerry has been a valuable contributor to the Wake GOP and we look forward to continue working with him in our voter outreach efforts.”
The Executive Committee of the Wake GOP will be meeting in the near future to discuss next steps regarding the District 7 school board election. Ballan has chosen not to endorse the remaining two candidates, Deborah Prickett and Karen Simon.
