As supporters mingled outside his office -- he had held a 'swearing-in breakfast' for them -- Rep. Ty Harrell took a few quiet minutes with his family. The Rev. Diane Corlett, second from right, leads Rep. Ty Harrell and his family -- from left, wife Melanie Du Pon and children Leighton Harrell, 7, and Kieren Harrell, 5 -- in prayer at Harrell's office Wednesday at the Legislative Building. "My family and my faith are two essential elements in my life," the rookie representative from Wake County said before the opening of the 147th session of the N.C. General Assembly. "I would not be complete without them."
