Ty Harrell

Warren Tyrone (Ty) Harrell (born February 6, 1970, in Newark, New Jersey) is a former Democratic member of the North Carolina General Assembly representing the state's 41st House district in western Wake County. He defeated Chris Mintz in the 2006 Democratic primary, and incumbent J. Russell Capps in the 2006 general election. On September 20, 2009, just nine months into his second term in office, Harrell resigned from the North Carolina House of Representatives after separate investigations into his campaign expenditures were launched by the House Ethics Committee and the State Board of Elections; however, after supplying the missing details and receipts going back to 2005, the Board of Elections concurred, notifying him that his case was closed "with no outstanding issues."
