In this year’s election for North Carolina House of Representatives District 1, incumbent Republican state Rep. Edward “Ed” Goodwin of Chowan County is running for reelection, and Democratic challenger Miriam Rollin of Dare County is also running for the seat. In District 79, Republican Darren Armstrong of Beaufort County is running unopposed.

Two Dare County candidates are running in this year’s election for North Carolina Senate District 1: Republican state Sen. Jerry Tillett, who was appointed to the seat last month following the resignation of former Sen. Bobby Hanig (R-Currituck), and Democrat Melissa Zehner.

Beloved Haven, a Currituck County-based nonprofit, set up a mobile outreach van Tuesday in Elizabeth City in the first of many planned regional stops to serve women who are survivors of or who are vulnerable to human trafficking.
