Scores of candidates to seek high-profile open political positions in North Carolina as filing ends

Associated Press  

RALEIGH, N.C. — Scores of candidates filed for nearly a dozen high-profile elected positions in North Carolina where the incumbents aren’t running in 2024 because of redistricting, retirements or term limits. Fourteen Republicans alone are seeking the GOP nomination in Nickel’s now-reconfigured 13th District, which includes part of Raleigh but stretches north to rural counties on the Virginia border and points south. The GOP field includes former Rep. Mark Walker, 2022 congressional candidate Bo Hines and Addison McDowell, a recent entry who received former President Donald Trump’s endorsement. Six GOP candidates also are seeking the nomination in the south-central 8th District that Bishop is leaving and five are running for the nomination in McHenry’s reconfigured 10th District, which now ranges from Winston-Salem to counties north and west of Charlotte.
