In its first official act after convening for a special session on September 10, the North Carolina House announced that Ken Furr had replaced Representative David Almond in State House District 67. Almond, who was serving his second term in the House, resigned July 12 following allegations of “serious, improper behavior.” The 67th district includes Stanley County and portions of Montgomery and Union counties.

According to the N.C. General Assembly website, Rep. Furr is the owner and operator of Stony Mountain Vineyards in Albemarle, North Carolina. The winery’s website says that Furr attended undergraduate school at UNC-Chapel Hill and received a master’s degree in public administration from N.C. State University. Furr is also a Vietnam veteran and served for 30 years in the Marine Corps.
