Bradshaw, Alexander in Mostly Positive SD 15 Race

RALEIGH — The race in Senate District 15 pits high-spending former Raleigh mayor Tom Bradshaw against first-time, fill-in legislative candidate John “Johnny Mac” Alexander to claim a seat left open by the retirement of Republican state Sen. Neal Hunt. Alexander entered the race in July after the death of GOP nominee Dr. Jim Fulghum; as a consequence, he trails Bradshaw significantly in fundraising for the seat.
