Find all the NC candidates running for Congress and statewide office in 2024

As the March 5 primary and Nov. 5, 2024, general elections approach, the field of North Carolina candidates for congressional and statewide offices is growing. Snip...An unusually large number of incumbents are expected not to seek reelection ... snip.

Numerous judicial positions will also be up for election, including one of the seven North Carolina Supreme Court seats, three seats on the Court of Appeals and dozens of local trial court judges.

Snip... newly redrawn U.S. House of Representatives districts, approved in October, have created new opportunities for Republican candidates while causing some Democratic incumbents to bow out. North Carolina has one of the nation’s biggest U.S. House delegations, with 14 seats, and it’s possible that nearly half of those seats will soon be held by newcomers.

The biggest changes, however, are expected in the executive branch. The lieutenant governor, attorney general and treasurer are all stepping down to try replacing Cooper as governor — as is a recently retired state Supreme Court justice — and in the process, they’re opening up their old jobs to new politicians.
Snip...

Here are the lists of all declared candidates for statewide and congressional seats.
