Both Boseman and Soles Under Investigation?



“What we’re concerned about is…the treasurer, by statute, has the responsibility of complying with [and] ensuring that the disclosure reports are true and accurate,” Strach told The Wilmington Journal exclusively Monday. “They sign that under a penalty of perjury, so we are certainly interested in making sure that that, in fact, has occurred.”

If the treasurer is saying that [she] didn’t sign that report, we want to make sure that first of all, we want to find out who did, and we want to find out if the contents of that report are true and accurate,” Strach continued, adding, “There may be some other criminal violations that are not of a criminal finance nature.” Kim Westbrook-Strach, deputy director of Campaign Reporting for the NCBOE,


Both Senator Boseman and Senator Soles say they are not under an investigation. Senator Boseman is being investigated by the Board of Elections because of a complaint regarding the forged signatures on campaign finance documents.

WWAY has looked into the RC Soles story and has interviewed three people called to testify in front of a Grand Jury regarding Senator Soles.

According to WRAL Julia Boseman has admitted to forging her campaign treasurer's signature, with permission.
