Contents

Greg Dority was a 2012 Republican candidate for North Carolina Auditor in the 2012 elections. He finished second in the May 8th primary election and although he was legally entitled to request a primary runoff election, he elected not to do so. He stated on his Facebook campaign website that his decision was because of an "overwhelming need to bring [the Republican] party together and construct [their] best scenario for victory in November." He also noted that his chances of victory over leading candidate Debra Goldman in the runoff were not strong.[1] [2]

Biography

Dority directed security at the ABC News Washington, DC bureau during the 1980s, leaving in 1991. He then worked in the security field and is currently Managing Partner of Sterling Security in Washington, North Carolina.[3]

Dority ran for North Carolina Auditor in 2012. He faced Joseph Hank DeBragga, Debra Goldman, Fern Shubert and Rudy Wright in the Republican primary on May 8. Since no candidate received more than 40 percent the top two vote-getters, Dority and Debra Goldman, were slated to head to a runoff on July 17,[4] but Dority declined the election, conceding the election to Goldman. Incumbent Beth Wood was unopposed in the Democratic primary. The general election took place on November 6, 2012.
