SALISBURY — Dr. Ada Fisher, a retired physician who was one of North Carolina’s members on the Republican National Committee for over a decade, has died at age 74.
Fisher also was known for her no-nonsense conservative views and her early support for former President Donald Trump.
A Durham native who earned advanced degrees from the University of Wisconsin and Johns Hopkins University, Fisher entered politics after a career as a practicing physician in both family practice and corporate settings.
State GOP activists elected Fisher as an RNC committeewoman in 2008 and she remained in the position until 2020.
“Dr. Ada Fisher was an incredible woman and an NCGOP institution who fought harder than anyone to support the party and advance conservative principles,” U.S. Sen. Thom Tillis, R-N.C., said of the news.
