INDIAN TRAIL, NC. — Republican candidate Mike Causey was a big winner at the Union County Republican Convention held at Porter Ridge High School Saturday. Causey garnered 80.4-percent of the delegate vote in the race for insurance commissioner, compared to 9.8-percent each for primary opponents James McCall and Richard Morgan.
Causey addressed the Union County Convention delegates Saturday morning, shortly after meeting convention delegates in Gaston County at the Gaston County Republican Party Convention.
After speaking to the delegates in Union, Causey went on to Cabarrus County, Iredell County Saturday afternoon and Franklin County that evening for The Franklin County Reagan Day Dinner and convention, where he addressed the delegates.
Causey seems to be gaining momentum as he travels the state on his grassroots tour.
The straw poll, organized by the Union County Republican Party,
included races for President, Lt. Governor, Council-of-State, congressional and
local elected offices.
Rick Santorum won the vote for U.S. President with nearly 42 percent and
Vernon Robinson won the vote
for U.S. Congress - District 8 with 31 percent.
