Ty Harrell Retires Russell Capps

Submitted by WakeChair on Wed, 11/08/2006 - 8:41am. News

News Item:

Democrat Ty Harrell of Raleigh, who tried to paint Republican incumbent Russell Capps as an extremist, was leading the six-term incumbent Tuesday night by nearly 800 votes in one of two tight state House races in the Triangle.

Capps was not conceding Tuesday night but seemed at peace with a potential loss.

"I'm old enough to retire," he said. "If I lose, the good Lord probably has something else for me to do."

All that remain to be counted are provisional ballots, and that's not expected to happen until next week.
