Smith cruises to re-election in state Senate race

Heavy early voting gave Democratic incumbent state Sen. Kandie Smith a healthy early lead according to unofficial totals released by the N.C. Board of Elections, and she did not relinquish any of it as today's Election Day ballots were counted. With 70 percent of precincts reporting in Pitt County and results from nearly 50 percent of precincts in Edgecombe County, Smith leads with 44,207 votes to just 25,807 for Republican challenger Henry Hostetler giving Smith 63.1 percent of the vote compared to Hostetler's 36.9 percent. "I’m grateful for the confidence of the people of Pitt and Edgecombe counties showed in me. I think they want me to continue to vote for the things that are important for them and to continue to fight for the things that are important to them, Smith said Tuesday night when reached at her legislative office. Smith said constituent services and consistency both played an important role in her re-election. "I don’t there were really one or two issues that drove the vote. I think there was consistency. When they see you’re working and they see your consistency and you’re accessible and that you're willing to try to help people solve problems, I think they

From campaign trail to the courthouse: Blount defeats longtime incumbent

After a closely watched race for one of the county's more important judicial administrative positions, Nancy Blount has been elected Nash County Clerk of Superior Court. Blount defeated incumbent Linda Thorne with 21,573 votes, or 53.24 percent of the vote, compared with Thorne's 18,950 votes, or 46.76 percent, according to unofficial vote tallies. The result marks a transition in leadership for an office that serves as the public's primary point of contact with the court system. The Clerk of Superior Court's office oversees a wide range of responsibilities, including court records, estate proceedings, guardianships, special proceedings, jury administration and numerous other functions that support both District and Superior Court operations. For many residents, the clerk's office becomes part of their lives during significant moments, whether settling the affairs of a loved one, serving on a jury or navigating a legal matter. With the election behind her, Blount now turns her attention to preparing for the transition into office and the responsibilities that come with it. Supporters say Blount's campaign resonated with voters who were looking for both experience and a commitment to responsive public service. Throughout the campaign, she emphasized the importance of accountability, accessibility and maintaining public confidence in

Wilkins elected to serve in NC House, ousting Republican legislator

Democrat Lorenza Wilkins on Tuesday evening won election to the N.C. House District 25 seat, turning back incumbent N.C. Rep. Allen Chesser’s attempt to win election to a third consecutive two-year term in Raleigh. Unofficial results showed that Wilkins, the Democratic nominee, received 20,420 votes (nearly 52.7 percent) while Chesser, a Republican, received 17,340 votes (slightly more than 44.7 percent). Nick Taylor, a Libertarian, received 1,010 votes (more than 2.6 percent). District 25 includes all but the far southeastern part of Nash County. Wilkins in 2024 challenged Chesser in a three-way general election contest in which Taylor also was on the ballot. Chesser won that round and was returned to the N.C. General Assembly after Wilkins called for a recount but still ended up falling short. Chesser won that race by a less than 1 percent margin. “I want to thank every single volunteer, every donor, every individual who contributed to the campaign,” Wilkins said. “It is now time to unify the county as much as we can — the district — and roll our sleeves up and get to work.” Wilkins particularly attributed the victory this time to the hard work of a lot of dedicated people. “We worked

Longtime clerk of clerk faces political newcomer in Edgecombe County

Edgecombe County Clerk of Court Carol Allen White has served for more than three decades in office but she is facing a challenge from a legal assistant with the District Attorney’s Office who previously worked as a paralegal and who before that served in the military. Voters are deciding today whether they want White, a Democrat, to serve for another four years as the superior court clerk or whether they want to replace her with Lisa Webb, a Republican who is conducting her first campaign for public office. At stake is who for the next four years in Edgecombe County is going to be responsible for all clerical and record-keeping functions of both the superior court and the district court. District courts handle cases of lower-level crimes and civil cases between $10,000 to $25,000. Superior courts hear cases involving felony crimes, civil cases involving $25,000 or more and appeals from district courts. White also is seeking reelection in a county that has long been historically pro-Democrat, and she is running on her experience. Webb on social media is acknowledging that experience is valuable but so are fresh perspectives, new ideas and the willingness to recognize when things can be done
