Cecil Brockman

Democratic Party leaders in Guilford County will meet next week to select a replacement for Rep. Cecil Brockman. The House seat representing the High Point area is vacant after Brockman resigned Friday, citing his recent criminal charges.

The state House is beginning the process of removing N.C. Rep. Cecil Brockman from office. The High Point Democrat was arrested earlier this month and charged with sex crimes involving a 15-year-old.

Brockman, a Democrat, represents a Guilford County district that includes High Point.
