Ryan, I don't know that the Anthony Triplin who is running for a seat in the Virginia House of Delegates is the same Anthony Triplin that has notified the Guilford County Board of Elections that he has established a campaign committee to run for Greensboro City Council. There is an Anthony Jerome Triplin registered to vote in Greensboro: http://www.sboe.state.nc.us/VoterInformation.aspx?id=812BBFBABC7147A9BD0F2E6CDA85875D
Keith: Thanks for the update on Teresa Jobe. I'll check with her to confirm that she's not running.
I confirmed with the Guilford County Board of Elections: Anthony Triplin lists his address as 4001 Holts Chapel Road, Greensboro, NC.
Triplin says he formed the committee in 2006, but that he is not running.
