A Challenge to Meeker From the Left?

If Raleigh Mayor Charles Meeker runs for reelection next year, he might face a challenge from a Democrat to his left.




Like maybe Thomas Crowder.


Meeker and other Council members aren’t happy with Crowder putting the issue of Marriott Hotel stucco on the front page. Not a team player, you know.


And word is The N&O is planning a story about Crowder. One question: Is he the Mike Regan of the left?


Crowder’s rise – if he doesn’t crash – could be a sign of an uprising by more liberal Raleigh Democrats, who have strong numbers in the city’s electorate.
