at least according to this:

Congratulations Larry Pittman, New NC House Representative

Larry Pittman was selected by the Cabarrus County GOP Executive Board last night to replace Jeff Barnhardt in the NC House 82nd district seat.

Pittman, who has previously ran for the seat, promised the Board he would defend the people’s rights and fight against government intrusion in his nomination speech.

Following his selection, Pittman had this written statement for the people of Cabarrus County and the 82nd District:

I want to thank the folks who supported me for the appointment to represent the 82nd District in the NC House, both the five Executive Committee members who voted for me, and anyone who may have encouraged them to do so. This is a great responsibility, which I take as a solemn duty to put the rights of our citizens first, ahead of any other agenda. I ask for everyone’s prayers, as I seek the Lord’s guidance to help me be a good and effective servant of the people. May God bless our efforts to uphold the founding principles that made this State and this nation great.

Sincerely,
Larry G. Pittman

And Perdue just announced she's not running for a second term. The fun never stops in this state.
