It’s filing season in North Carolina, and the local slate is taking shape. Ruben and Chris walk through who files where, what it costs, deadlines that actually matter, and what redrawn districts could mean for Hoke County. We hit the basics (age, residency, unaffiliated petitions, fees), local races already drawing primaries, and a quick reality check on challenges and eligibility.
Plus a community calendar—Hometown Christmas, Rockfish’s Old-Time Christmas—and our 250th-anniversary vignette on Henry Knox’s “Noble Train of Artillery.”
If you vote here, pay taxes here, or cheer at Friday-night lights here—this one’s for you.
