Memory Lane

A fan of Tricia Cotham – no doubt looking ahead to a potential Superintendent of Public Instruction primary with Rick Glazier – asks: “When was the last time a male candidate defeated a female in a Democratic primary in North Carolina?”
 
To my recollection – and, as usual, doing no research whatsoever – I believe it was Jim Hunt. In 1972, Margaret Harper of Southport was one of the candidates he defeated in the primary for lieutenant governor.
