N.C. District 3 Rep. Norman Sanderson is one race closer to being N.C. District 3 Sen. Sanderson after winning more than 55 percent of the three-county vote in a three-way 2012 Republican Primary race for the seat.

Sanderson, of Arapahoe, led in Craven, Pamlico and Carteret counties against Randy Ramsey, a Beaufort businessman, and Ken Jones, mayor of Pine Knoll Shoals.

“My feet hurt,” Sanderson said, laughing after hard run he said ended up proving that “message over money” can be victorious. “I just think that we have the message and this victory shows that you can have all the money you want but that doesn’t always win.”

“I’m just amazed at the people in this district,” Sanderson said. “I had faith in them but when you’re bombarded every day with something that you want to scream out ‘it is totally not true,’ they were able to look through it and see the truth.”

Sanderson also had name recognition in the district as the incumbent Republican House District 3 representative who campaigned twice for that seat before this bid for the seat being vacated by Sen. Jean Preston, who is retiring at the end of this term.

His comments were directed at Ramsey, the owner of Jarrett Bay Boatworks in his first bid for public office, who challenged some of Sanderson’s positions in ads on radio, mail and television. Ramsey’s campaign got the attention of other state Republicans, the Associated Press and appeared on the Washington Post website.
