    Brooks Pierce Election Update, March 4, 2020 03.04.2020 North Carolina Voters Cast Primary Ballots Over 2.1 million North Carolina voters cast primary election ballots on March 3 and during the early voting period. Most races have been decided, but a few may require runoffs. In races where no candidate receives 30% of the vote, the second place finisher may call for a runoff. Given that many political observers see North Carolina as a “purple” state, the November elections are expected to be hotly contested. While the official results have not yet been certified and the possibility for recounts or runoffs in some races remains… Here’s what we know: President President Donald Trump (R) won the Republican contest with 94% and Democrat Joe Biden won his party’s primary with 43 % to 24 % for Bernie Sanders, 13% for Michael Bloomberg and 10% for Elizabeth Warren. Governor Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper and Republican Lt. Gov. Dan Forest both won their party’s primary by large margins and will face off in November. Lt. Governor Republican Mark Robinson appears to have won with 33% and there may be a runoff on the Democratic side between Wake County Rep. Yvonne Holley (27%) and Buncombe County Sen. Terry Van Duyn (20%). Attorney General Democratic Attorney General Josh Stein will face Republican winner Jim O’Neill, the Forsyth County District Attorney, who received 47%. Agriculture Republican Commissioner Steve Troxler will face Democratic winner Jenna Wadsworth, a Wake County Soil and Water Supervisor, who received 54%. Auditor BROOKSPIERCE.COM Brooks Pierce Election Update, March 4, 2020 Democratic Auditor Beth Wood will face Republican Tony Street, a Brunswick County businessman, who received 56%.

    @UNIVGAZETTE GAZETTE.UNC.EDU VOL. 43, NO. 9 CAROLINA FACULTY AND STAFF NEWS MAY 16, 2018 Rye Barcott to graduates: ‘Do not run from the pain’ or the more than 6,000 students sitting in a sea of Carolina blue in Kenan Stadium on May 13, the F journey to graduation was anything but easy. There were demanding classes, all-nighters and count- less assignments to overcome on the way, but those chal- lenges led to a degree from Carolina. As the graduates prepare for the next phase of their careers, Marine veteran and social entrepreneur Rye Bar- cott urged them to continue taking their challenges and turning them into something useful and positive. “The truth is, many of life’s most fulfilling moments— and most accomplishments—rarely happen without some degree of pain,” he said. Barcott, the co-founder of nonprofits Carolina for Kibera and With Honor, delivered the Commencement address as Carolina celebrated the graduation of the Class of 2018. Chancellor Carol L. Folt presided over the ceremony that drew nearly 30,000 of the graduates’ family and friends, as well as Board of Governors Chair W. Louis Bis- sette, Board of Trustees Vice Chair Charles G. Duckett and General Alumni Association Board of Directors Chair Jim Delany. The degrees of 6,119 Carolina students were conferred during the 90-minute ceremony. They included 3,886 with bachelor’s, 1,596 with master’s, 262 with doctoral and 637 with professional degrees from the schools of dentistry, law, medicine, nursing and pharmacy.

    12 www.visitchapelhill.org 1 Horace Williams Airport 1001 Estes Drive Extension Built on 50 acres in 1928, the Chapel Hill Airport became the Horace Williams Airport when it was bought by UNC in 1940 and named for the professor who donated most of the land needed to expand it. The airport is slated to close and become part of Carolina North, a 250-acre planned expansion of the University of North Carolina. 2 Chapel Hill High School 1709 High School Road Established in 1916, Chapel Hill High School moved from its location near the Columbia and Franklin Street intersection in 1966, to what was then the country. It remained the only high school in the district until 1996; there are now three high schools and the “country” around it continues to sprout housing. 3 Homestead Road Besides centuries of farming, some of the fields along Homestead Road were once training fields for World War II pilots. In 1950, Andy Griffith and his bride moved to a farmhouse on Homestead Road, walking trails and fishing nearby creeks for two years while writing and performing monologues that would launch his career and lead him to become the beloved TV icon, Andy Taylor, of the “Andy Griffith Show.” 4 Won Buddhism Temple 8021 Old NC 86 Always open, the temple is accessible by wheelchair and offers SELF-GUIDED a calming respite.
