Abstract:
The 1987 General Assembly’s freshman class consists of 22 Democrats, seven Republicans; four are women and four are black. The newcomers tilted the legislature to the right; but as individuals they tilt in all directions. THE INDEPENDENT takes a look at how the three freshman from the Triangle (Rep. Sharon Thompson, D-Durham; Rep. Bill Freeman, D-Fuquay-Varina; and Sen. J.K. Sherron, D-Raleigh) emerged this session.
