#ncpol: Fuggeddaboutit !!!
The #DaoudCrowd’s grand pooh-bah reached out to us with comments on the past two stories (THIS and THIS) we’ve done on him.
The one causing us the most concern was that, according to documents on file with the state board of elections, AJ Daoud owes $10,0000 and is barred by state law from seeking public office until the fine is paid. Here is the brief defense AJ offered us in a comment on our site:
[…F]ine was for late filing on inactive account that BOE said don’t worry about it.[…]
Really? Seriously? They fired off a letter assessing the penalty, but couldn’t be bothered
to put “don’t worry about it” in writing? (We know AJ asked them to take that tactic.) I know I would want ”don’t worry about it” put in writing. (Especially if we’re talking about that kind of money and a government agency. )
And while we’re on the subject of his campaign report, what about his latest on file with the state board of elections? It shows a beginning balance of $2,262.36 and cash on hand (as of August) of $160. Most disturbing is the campaign’s “outstanding loans” balance (as of August 2015) of $119,758.59. That is one hell of a hole to dig out of.
Don’t get mad at me for asking these questions. If I don’t, Elaine Marshall and the drive-by media will be doing it during the general election.
Establishment :
Agree with the ruling class or we will swat you like a bug.
Funny how technically you’re unable to run for public office, so please remember the next time we tell you specific rules please follow them through.
NOTE: remember you were supposed to endorse Collins and you failed us, so now we turn our back on you .

just to clarify…. different Patrick
Interesting!
It’s hard not to like AJ and he’s been a better-than-most District Chairman (which unfortunately isn’t a hard thing to be) but he does things that make me wonder about him sometimes, particularly his choice of acquaintances. I like Glen Bradley but the rest of these people surrounding his latest venture, are a who’s who of establishment Non-conservatives that the grassroots simply loathe.
Cook and Rabin are okay, too. Cook was gerrymandered out of his House district by Tillis in the redistricting due to being perceived as too close to his seatmate, Bradley, and then had to beat a Raleigh-recruited primary challenger when he moved over to the Senate. Bradley and Cook were the only two GOP House members targeted by Tillis for gerrymandering.
Thanks, didn’t know that about Cook.
Unfortunately, AJ Daoud does not know fact from fiction and even worse he spews more fiction than fact. While serving as a Lottery Commissioner, which he likes to brag about repeatedly, he made multiple false and misleading statements in county GOP meetings. This became so out of hand that he was reprimanded by the other Commissioners of the Lottery Commission. AJ is a big ego looking a title and nothing more. His poor handling of his campaign matters is evidence and proof of his disregard for following the law or even protocol. Please tell me the conservatives of NC have a better choice coming than AJ Daoud.
We need a credible, capable, highly respected Republican candidate, not a narcissistic clown, to take out Elaine Mardova. This is serious business, folks.
