From NBC17 RALEIGH, N.C. — Former Governor James G. Martin has endorsed Dan Barrett’s candidacy for the North Carolina Court of Appeals.
“The North Carolina Court of Appeals is critical to our system of justice,” Martin said in a press release. “Dan Barrett will apply and interpret the law fairly. He will be tough on crime. Dan will not legislate from the bench.”
Barrett ran a grassroots campaign for governor in 2004 during which he walked 582 miles across North Carolina. Barrett has practiced law for 23 years. Learn more about Dan Barrett.

Excellent choice by Gov. Martin!
Our judicial system receives too little attention by the voters and the media. Court decisions and precedents set by these decisions have a significant impact on all our lives.
Dan Barrett is the sort of solid citizen and careful thinker that we need to represent us in the NC Court of Appeals.
