The filing period for local candidates wanting to run for office in this year’s primary elections resumed Thursday and will end at noon March 4.
Several candidates filed for positions in December before the filing period was halted by the North Carolina Supreme Court over legal challenges regarding redistricting. Candidate filing for the November elections restarted this week after a Wake County court approved new redistricting maps for the state’s congressional and legislative elections.

- County Commissioner At-Large: Republicans incumbent Lane Furr and Patty Crump;
- County Commissioner District 1: Republicans incumbent Mike Barbee, Levi Greene and Mike Haigler;
