Election 2024 North Carolina: These are the candidates who filed for races impacting the Piedmont Triad (2024)

(WGHP) — These are your candidates for the 2024 elections in North Carolina’s Piedmont Triad.

As of Friday at noon, filing has closed, and the State Board of Elections has reported the names of candidates in all North Carolina state and national races.

A majority of the races will first head to a primary on March 5, 2024. A few will not have primaries and will be decided on Nov. 5, 2024. These races without primaries have been indicated with a note beside the title of the race.

U.S. House of Representatives

New Congressional district maps for North Carolina were passed by the General Assembly in October, so you may be in a different district now than you were in past elections. The redistricting has led to a few notable changes to North Carolina’s U.S. House races impacting the Piedmont Triad.

U.S. Reps. Wiley Nickel (D-Garner), who represents North Carolina’s District 13, and Kathy Manning (D-Greensboro), who represents District 6, both said that they would not be running for re-election under the new Congressional maps which hold more promise for Republican candidates.

Former U.S. Rep. Mark Walker (R-Greensboro) took office representing the 6th District in 2015 but chose not to run in 2020 under redrawn maps that favored Democrats, which gave Manning her opening to claim the seat. The latest iteration of the district yet again has a more conservative lean, which prompted Walker to drop his gubernatorial campaign in favor of another run for Congress.

These maps have been criticized as partisan gerrymanders, and North Carolina Black and Latino voters filed a lawsuit in federal court on Dec. 4 to strike down the congressional districts, arguing that they violate the U.S. Constitution by weakening minority voting power. Nevertheless, these are the maps set to be the basis for the 2024 elections.

Using the slider below, you can see what the district layout looked like in 2022 compared to the latest maps for 2024. You can also use the interactive map available on the North Carolina General Assembly website.
