Via LH
Conservative group FreedomWorks will endorse Tea Party candidate Greg
Brannon (R) in his bid to face Sen. Kay Hagan (D-N.C.), sources close
to Brannon's campaign tell The Hill.
Brannon, an obstetrician who
has the backing of Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), will be endorsed by the
national group at a Tuesday evening rally in Raleigh.
The
endorsement could help propel his candidacy in the crowded Senate
primary. Brannon is facing five other candidates including North
Carolina House Speaker Thom Tillis (R), the establishment favorite and
front-runner, as well as Rev. Mark Harris (R), who has the backing of
former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee (R). If no candidate gets 40 percent
of the vote in the May primary, the top two vote-getters will face off
in July.
