Statement on Commissioner Wortman

Cabarrus County Republican Party Statement on Commissioner Kenny Wortman

The Cabarrus County Republican Party Executive Committee has issued the following statement regarding Commissioner Wortman's decision to change his party affiliation:

"Commissioner Wortman’s decision to step away from the Republican Party and the principles that unite us is disappointing. It comes after a series of broken campaign promises and a lack of engagement with the Republican Party.  Republican voters who believed he was the best candidate now feel betrayed by his actions.

The Cabarrus County Republican Party will continue to work together with all candidates, voters, and officeholders who are committed to the values and ideals outlined in the North Carolina State Republican Party Platform. We will continue to welcome anyone who holds these beliefs as their core values to join the Republican Party."
