PINEHURST — Candidate filing for Moore County in the 2022 elections ended on Friday, March 4.
Republicans will continue to hold countywide offices, as no Democrats filed for full-term county commission seats, clerk of court, register of deeds, sheriff, or two N.C. House seats. In addition, two district court seats did not have a Democrat file for office, and one seat did not see a Republican file.
In the N.C. House, the seat being vacated by the retirement of Allen McNeill has three candidates running: Neal Jackson, David Ashley, and Cory Bortree. A primary will also take place between current incumbents Jamie Boles and Ben Moss, who are facing off in the redrawn 52nd District that covers southern Moore County and all of Richmond County. The third House district covering Moore, the 51st, sees Lee County incumbent Republican John Sauls facing off against Democrat Malcolm Hall in November’s general election.
