♦ With Friday’s noon filing now complete for the newly redrawn 13th Congressional District primary on June 7th we can report a mind-boggling field of 22 candidates in all. The Republican’s 17 candidates resembles a Kentucky Derby-sized field where whoever lands in the top 2 spots on the ballot greatly raises their chances of winning. The Democrats offer 5 candidates.
Last month the North Carolina General assembly redrew the boundaries of the state’s 13 congressional districts. The changes were dramatic. The new 13th Congressional District flows through parts of Rowan, Iredell, and Guilford County and all of Davie and Davidson.
Republican candidates who filed were: Andrew C. Brock, Chad A. Gant, Dan Barrett, David W. Thompson, Farren K. Shoaf, George Rouco, Hank Henning, Harry Warren, Jason A. Walser, Jim Snyder, John Blust, Julia Craven Howard, Kathy Feather, Matthew J. McCall, Ted Budd, Kay Daly and Vernon Robinson. (17)
Democratic candidates who filed were: Adam Coker, Bob Isner, Bruce Davis, Kevin Griffin and Mazie Ferguson. (5)
With Friday’s noon filing completed, Rowan’s new 8th Congressional District field will include incumbent Republican Congressman Richard Hudson and his Republican Challenger Tim D’Annunzio.
The Democrat running for the New 8th Congressional seat is Thomas Mills.
