Smith to Challenge Shaw for Sixth Time
State Sen. Larry Shaw will face off with a familiar opponent in his bid for re-election.
Since 1996, Shaw has trounced Eronomy “Mohammed” Smith in five elections. The two Democrats from Fayetteville will be on the May 6 primary ballot for District 21. The winner will face no opposition in the fall.
In the 2006 primary, Smith garnered 2percent of the vote in a three-way race, which Shaw won. Smith finish third with 3.4 percent of votes in the 2004 primary.
Smith has made numerous false claims in news releases, at public meetings and during interviews with the media. He inaccurately claims he initiated the base-realignment process under way at Fort Bragg, led revitalization efforts in downtown Fayetteville and founded Masjid Omar Ibn Sayyid, a mosque on Murchison Road.
When a reporter asked him why he makes untrue claims, Smith stood by the statements, adding, “It’s all in the record.”
This guy is nuttier than a peanut farm, clearly delusional and a professional fraud. One thing about politics, it brings all kinds out of the woodwork.
The Voice Online, a Fayetteville State University publication, just recently did an article on “Minister” Smith.
