John Edwards Inducted into NCGOP Hall of Fame
At the North Carolina Republican Party's Hall of Fame Awards Banquet November 17 at the Embassy Suites in Cary, John Edwards said he was "stunned" to be a NCGOP Hall of Fame inductee and thanked fellow Republicans for their grassroots activism. Edwards joked that he doesn't pay anywhere near what the other John Edwards pays for his haircuts.

John became active in politics in 1982, was the Elon College Republicans chairman in the mid 1980s and is the current chairman of the Franklin County Republican Party. Rep. David Lewis of Harnett County presented the award and said John maintains the 2nd District Web site, the Franklin GOP Web site and has helped the GOP and candidates with media training and campaign commercials.
