RALEIGH, N.C. (WNCN) – A Republican candidate looking to unseat longtime Sec. of State Elaine Marshall (D) is out with a new ad claiming Marshall has commissioned people in the country illegally to serve as notaries public.

Businessman E.C. Sykes (R) released the ad this week in which a man speaking about him mentions his pledge to “end illegal aliens as notary publics here in North Carolina.”

This issue goes back decades, but got attention in the 2016 race for Secretary of State and again the next year when Republicans in the General Assembly discussed impeaching Marshall. Ultimately, they did not move forward with that.

Marshall has served as secretary of state since winning election to the office for the first time in 1996. She is running for re-election this year.
