Guilford Dems Pull Back Support for NC House Candidate After Resurfaced Posts
Guilford County's Democratic Party withdraws its backing of Shelly Headen, the Democratic nominee for North Carolina House District 62, after resurfaced inflammatory social media posts. The party says the posts violate its values; Headen apologized but says the party's decision is for the good of the party. Because ballots are already out, she remains on the ballot to face Republican incumbent John Blust, and she has received death threats.
