Can't Hack It: State Minority Leader Joe Hackney won’t seek re-election

As the UNC system faces pervasive state budget cuts and tough choices to compensate for the loss, one of its allies in the legislature has announced the end of his political career.

N.C. House Minority Leader Joe Hackney, D-Orange, said in a statement Thursday morning he would not run for re-election.

“Joe has always been a tireless supporter of the University and his retirement leaves a big hole that will be hard to fill,” said Hannah Gage, chairwoman of the UNC- system Board of Governors.

Hackney is one of the last prominent University supporters to leave the N.C. General Assembly.
