In a statement released Saturday, Wake County School Board candidate Cathy Truitt said she will serve if elected in Tuesday's runoff for District 2.
The statement reads: "I accept the decision by the NC State Board of Elections to continue the runoff for the District 2 Wake County School Board seat. If elected on November 3rd, I will accept the seat, take the oath, and serve as a member of the Wake County School Board."
This comes after Truitt publicly announced she wanted to withdraw from the run-off on Oct. 19 and, two days later, endorsed her opponent John Tedesco.
However, the Board of Elections ruled that Truitt would remain on the ballot, since early voting had begun.
Tedesco fell just shy of the fifty-percent of votes needed to win the Oct. 6 election. Tedesco and Truitt both came out ahead of incumbent candidate Horace Tart.

Cathy has proven herself to be nothing more than a slimey politician. After polling less than half of what her opponent polled, she declared how honorable she was and said she would step aside. She refused however to put that in writing as required by the election board, so they had to hold the runoff election at tax payer expense anyway. Now she puts the back of her hand to her forehead and gallantly declares that if the people elect her she will serve.... Oh how wonderful of you; you phony! Anyone that casts a vote for Cathy Truitt has no right to complain about how dishonest politicians are. She put it out there for all to see, and if you vote for her anyway you are a fool.
