North Carolina’s primary elections are quickly approaching. There are a few important dates you should know, as well as some rules about early voting and voting by mail. Since the last election, there have also been changes to some early voting sites and days, and two voting districts have even had their boundaries redrawn.
In 2025, Cunningham sided with Republicans more than any other Democrat, voting with the GOP 84% of the time on key issues such as immigration, the environment, government transparency, and the separation of powers.
NC House District 27 is a rural district bordering Virginia that includes Warren, Halifax, and Northampton counties. It is an important seat in the 2026 election that could determine the fate of Gov. Josh Stein’s vetoes in the next legislative session.
“Duke Energy’s proposed rate hike is simply too high and comes as the company is also retreating on more affordable clean energy. At a time when families are struggling to make ends meet, we should be doing everything we can to make life more affordable, not less. I will continue to fight on behalf of every North Carolinian to lower costs and grow the economy,” said Stein.
The Governor’s message was rooted in a stark disparity: while the federal government has committed roughly $7 billion to North Carolina since the 2024 storm, that figure represents only 12% of the estimated $60 billion in total damages. By contrast, Stein noted that major disasters like Hurricanes Katrina and Sandy saw federal coverage closer to 70%.
Stevens has practiced law for over 30 years and has been a member of the House of Representatives since 2009– she’s currently serving on the House Election Law Committee. Her political and legal experience makes it all the more troubling that she could make such a mistake as she pursues a seat on the state’s highest court.
Ahead of the 2026 primaries, North Carolina Republicans are running their usual playbook: disenfranchising and suppressing Black voters. However, this time around, are not only facing gerrymandered maps, but new changes involving voting sites and days.
Voters rejected Morrow’s extreme views that fueled her 2024 campaign, and now she’s showing that nothing has changed for her Senate campaign. This type of extremism does not belong in North Carolina, and certainly not in a campaign for a position that is meant to represent the diverse people of this state.
It’s official, North Carolina is the last state in the nation without a state budget, and Governor Josh Stein says he’s still at the table waiting for lawmakers to pass one. “I am here at the table. Whenever the legislature is ready to join me at the table and get to work. I’m ready to welcome them,” Stein said in an interview with the Raleigh News & Observer.
Jackson’s office warned that losing the funding would force schools to shut down programs and could lead to layoffs in the middle of the school year. “Our kids deserve better,” Jackson said in a statement. “A surprise cut of nearly $50 million from rural schools, with virtually no notice and no allegation of misuse, is unlawful and harmful.”
