Former state Sen. Eric Mansfield is out of the contest for state Democratic Party chair, citing the ill health of his mom. That leaves Pittsboro Mayor Randy Voller unopposed at this point — nine days before the Feb. 2 election meeting of the party’s State Executive Committee

Voller time? “@nationhahn: I am sad that my friend Eric Mansfield must drop out of the race for Chair ericmansfieldforchair.com/announcement_r… #ncdem #ncpol”
