Democrats break 36-year drought and turn Cabarrus County blue - at least this year

After four decades without electing a Democrat to the Cabarrus County Board of Commissioners, voters Tuesday appeared to hand the party a majority. The outcome was part of a sweeping election-night transformation that also saw Republicans lose two state House seats, a state Senate seat and all three school board contests. In every contested race on the ballot, Democrats outvoted Republicans in the county. Democrats Ingrid Nurse, Dan Redding and Phil Henry swept the three available seats on the five-member commission, giving their party a 3-2 majority after 36 years without a single Democratic commissioner. Even Democrats who spent months working to flip Republican-held seats were stunned by the scale of their victories. “There was this Republican dam in Cabarrus County, and I was thinking and hoping that we would poke a few holes in that dam, but we almost literally blew it up,” said Thierry Wernaers, a longtime democratic strategist who managed Democrat Chris Bishopp’s successful campaign for state House. “There is no more dam.” Just one day before the election, Western Carolina University political scientist Chris Cooper suggested Cabarrus might soon become the most politically interesting county in North Carolina. After Tuesday’s results, he offered a different assessment.

Four Democrats flipped GOP seats in Charlotte's suburban counties. Who are they?

Voters sent a message to President Donald Trump’s Republican Party Tuesday as candidates up and down the ballot rode a blue wave to victory. The North Carolina General Assembly was no exception. Democrats shattered the GOP’s iron grip on the state Senate, breaking its supermajority and appearing to fall just short of an even split that would have given the Democratic lieutenant governor tiebreaking power. The party meanwhile flipped the NC House after 16 years. Republican state Rep. Tricia Cotham was one of the evening’s political casualties, losing to former Matthews town commissioner Ken McCool by a double-digit margin. But voters expected she could be in danger heading into Election Day. Results in nearby Republican-leaning districts came as more of a surprise. These are four of the newest Democratic leaders heading to Raleigh after flipping seats in Charlotte’s suburban counties. Chris Bishopp Retired Navy veteran Chris Bishopp defeated Republican incumbent Brian Echevarria by a margin of 56% to 44% in Cabarrus County, according to election night results. He’ll represent House District 82, which includes suburban and rural areas surrounding Concord. Bishopp studied political science at UNC Chapel Hill on a Navy ROTC scholarship and served as an active duty naval
