Statement on the Death of Sen. Stan Bingham

Raleigh, N.C. — Senate Leader Phil Berger (R-Rockingham) released the following statement about former Sen. Stan Bingham (R-Davidson), who passed away yesterday:

“Stan and I were the only freshmen Republican senators in 2001. We grew to be close friends and confidants during our time serving together. He was a successful businessman, statesman, and one of my favorite people. No matter where life took him, he never lost touch with his roots and the people of Davidson County. He faithfully represented them in Raleigh. He was an exceptional storyteller and anyone who knew him can recount a time when he regaled them with one of his stories. Stan made a lasting impact on the North Carolina Senate and Davidson County. My thoughts and prayers are with his family and loved ones.”
