RALEIGH, N.C. – Candidates vying for the Wake County District Attorney’s office will participate in a moderated debate at Campbell Law School next Thursday, Sept. 25. Area residents are invited to join the Campbell Law community for the debate, which will begin at 6 p.m. in room 105 at the law school. The debate is co-sponsored by the Campbell Law Republicans and Campbell Law Democrats.
Candidates John Bryant (Republican) and Lorrin Freeman (Democrat) will participate. Both previously took part in a Wake County District Attorney candidate forum at Campbell Law this past March prior to the primary elections.
Campbell Law Dean J. Rich Leonard will moderate the debate using questions submitted by Campbell Law students.
“The district attorney serves a critical role in our community, and we are excited to provide a platform for such a needed, important debate,” said Leonard. “Campbell Law is Raleigh’s law school, and it is important for us to lead the way in facilitating such meaningful legal discussions.”
Bryant and Freeman are running for the seat previously held by Colon Willoughby, a 1979 Campbell Law charter class graduate. Willoughby, who was honored with the Iredell award by Campbell Law’s Phi Alpha Delta law fraternity in March 2014, resigned from office earlier this year. Since Willoughby’s resignation, Ned Mangum has served as acting district attorney.
Paid parking is available at the City of Raleigh Municipal Parking Deck across from the law school on West Morgan Street.
