This primary, Republican and Democratic candidates will run in intra-party races and each party’s candidate will need to win with 30 percent of the vote to avoid triggering a runoff and advance to the general election this fall. Redistricting in North Carolina has changed the political landscape a bit, but the Triangle is mostly home to solid blue congressional districts (though Congressional District 13, which includes some of Wake County, could be a tossup). We sent questionnaires to all of the candidates running for federal office in districts that cover the Triangle for this primary, and those returned are provided below.
We’ve also released endorsements for these federal and state primaries.
