David Waddell, the only Constitution Party office-holder in North Carolina, says he will run for U.S. Senate in 2014 in North Carolina as a write-in candidate. He was elected to the Indian Trail city council on November 8, 2011, in a non-partisan election.

He is the first Constitution Party member to run for statewide office in North Carolina, other than presidential elector candidates. The Constitution Party has never been on the ballot in North Carolina because of the ballot access laws.

Waddell has also submitted his resignation from the city council. He garnered publicity by submitting the resignation letter in Klingon. See this story.
