From Cherokee to Currituck and across 100 counties and more than 550 miles, it’s primary season in North Carolina.
Due South co-host Jeff Tiberii talks to journalists in Asheville, Charlotte, Raleigh, Wilmington, and Winston-Salem about the open U.S. Senate seat, Congressional contests that could answer questions about party fissures, and local elections that will shape education.
This statewide NC primary election special is a co-production of public radio stations WUNC News in Durham, Blue Ridge Public Radio in Asheville, WFAE in Charlotte, WFDD in Winston-Salem, and WHQR in Wilmington.
