A second Republican has entered the race to replace Rep. Laura Wiley in House District 61. (Background here.)
Paul Norcross, 44, of High Point, told me on the phone today he would file to run, joining council member John Faircloth in the field of GOP contenders.
Norcross is a logistics consultant to DHL who is in the process of starting his own logistics business. And he is a cofounder of Phoenix Academy, a charter school in High Point. An active member of the Rotary, Norcross is married and has two children in High School.
When I spoke with him, Norcross said those two experiences shaped his desire to run for office. Improving education and creating educational choice for parents would be a key goal for him, as would developing the Triad into a logistics and freight hub.
