Mumpower Wins Republican Nod to Challenge Shuler
Asheville City Councilman Carl Mumpower won a solid victory Tuesday night over Henderson County’s Spence Campbell in the 11th Congressional District Republican Primary.
With all 15 counties reporting, Mumpower had garnered 48.6 percent of the vote, compared with 41.8 percent for Campbell, a 30-year Army veteran and former chair of the Henderson County Republican Party, according to unofficial results.
I really wanted Armor, but I predicted a Mumpower victory. It’s a long way to foresee November yet, but he’s going to have an uphill battle against Shuler.
