RALEIGH (AP) — Senate Majority Leader Tony Rand is leaving the North Carolina legislature to lead the state parole commission.
Gov. Bev Perdue announced Wednesday that Rand will head the Post-Release Supervision and Parole Commission by early next year.
Rand couldn't be reached for comment, but a spokesman for Senate leader Marc Basnight said Rand will resign from the General Assembly.
Rand will replace Charles Mann, who is retiring into a part-time position.
The Cumberland County Democrat is one of the most powerful leaders in state government and began serving in the Senate in the 1980s. He ran unsuccessfully for lieutenant governor in 1988.
