NC House 57: Jon Hardister (R) and Wendell Sawyer (R)
We endorse: Jon Hardister.

Wendell Sawyer has some endearing qualities See: Intellectual consistency and good ideas See: bipartisan commissions on redistricting and identifying wasteful spending. The liability that automatically eliminates him from consideration is his refusal to campaign and statement that he doesn’t know if he would have enough time to serve. The 27-year-old Jon Hardister, in contrast, has been campaigning with zeal and taking every opportunity to articulate his conservative ideas. He will be a worthy opponent for Democratic incumbent Pricey Harrison in November.
