But the low profile race would be interesting for a couple reasons.
Republican Dan Forest, 45, is the son of U.S. Rep. Sue Myrick of Charlotte. He spent part of his growing up years in Charlotte public schools.
Forest's opponent, Democrat Linda Coleman, 63, would be the first African American woman to hold statewide office in North Carolina.
On Monday Forest spoke to the N.C. League of Municipalities at the Charlotte Convention Center. Coleman, citing scheduling conflicts, did not attend. She'll return Thursday night for a fundraiser in Dilworth.
Forest told the municipal leaders he would focus on tax and regulatory reform as well as education.
But while the lieutenant governor presides over the N.C. Senate, he or she has little concrete power. Forest said he would be "a loud voice for education" and work with what he expects to be GOP majorities in the legislature and a Republican in the governor's office.
"Part of the lieutenant governor's role is to make the governor look good," he said.

Careful Jim, no bias was registered in this story for the Democrat.
It must be nice to follow in your Mama's footsteps. I just hope that he doesn't push for term limits, as his Momma did, and then stay for eighteen years.
Cut it with the liberal racist African American label garbage. Thats some dumb Jesse Jackson brain fart from the 80s when he claimed he was "born with a shovel in his hand" BS.
If you use African American for black than use European America for white and Asian American for yellow red.
Your anthropology university level books for the past 500 yrs should tell you the 3 races on earth are caucasoid mongoloid and negroid unless they changed recently by this generation of moronics.
The more things change the more they stay the same... never fails ... Nothing new under the sun from 3000 yrs ago ...
