McCrory donor, former ECU lecturer to advise DHHS leader

....

Peal was also listed in 2010 under her married name, Grubb, as a member of the board of directors for the anti-abortion Carolina Pregnancy Center, which provides "abortion alternatives, post abortion support and abstinence education with the hope of transforming lives through Jesus Christ," according to its Facebook page.

The hire comes as the agency prepares to rewrite state rules governing access to abortion and grapple with massive Medicaid shortfalls. It also follows weeks of headlines about highly-paid staffers and contractors at the top of DHHS.

....

"The first [mission] is to recruit a community of informed, involved and inspired citizens," Peal told radio hosts Tom Lamprecht and Sadie Klaus on April 29, 2010. "Then, we want to rebuild the free-market system through the tenets of limited government, and we want to restore the United States to the principles of its founding documents, the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence."

Although she was briefly listed as a member of the group's "leadership team" on its website, Eastern N.C. Tea Party founder and director Karen Kozel said Peal attended only a few early "brainstorming" meetings and appeared as a visiting speaker at a gathering in 2010.
