Ministers Try to Unseat Incumbent Democrat Jenkins in Senate District 3

RALEIGH — If past is prologue, candidates challenging state Sen. Clark Jenkins in the upcoming Democratic primary might not have a prayer even though both are ordained ministers. Jenkins has proven during previous primary battles to be a formidable and well-financed candidate in Senate District 3. He faces Erica Smith-Ingram and Alan Mizelle, both ministers, in the May 6 primary.
