Republicans Lose Steam in Robeson County

For the first time since taking office 10 years ago, state Sen. Danny Britt appears to have survived a surprisingly close election, though he’s not out of the woods yet. Britt, a Robeson County Republican whose district also includes Hoke and Scotland counties, holds less than a 0.5-point lead over Democrat Catina Hamm, unofficial results show. Britt had 268 more votes than Hamm as of Tuesday night, but provisional ballots have not been tallied yet and the contest could go to a recount.

Blue wave reshapes Cumberland and North Carolina | Opinion

The Cumberland County Board of Commissioners will have two new members after the elections and may see a shift in the balance of power. That was one of my takeaways from a midterm race Nov. 3 that saw a shift toward Democrats at every level of government, including here in Cumberland County. Charles Evans, a former commissioner's chairman, was the top vote-getter in the at-large race Tuesday , earning 34% of the vote, according to unofficial results. Current Vice Chair Veronica B. Jones placed second and won reelection with 32%. They were trailed by Greg West, a longtime school board member, with 20% and Ron Ross, with 15%. Election night, I asked Evans on WIDU radio's Election Central why he decided to run again. He said it is because of projects discussed by the board while he served, which are stalled or going nowhere. He cited the shelter for the unhoused, for which current commissioners have reopened a search for a new location; and the Crown Event Center, a project under construction that the board killed in 2025 — after having torn out the free, longtime, parking lot in front of the county courthouse. Evans said the Event Center would
