All the filers for the upcoming November 2 elections in Kittrell and Middleburg are incumbents, and they all filed this week.
When the filing period closed at noon today (Friday), the filing list included:
- Jerry Joyner – Mayor of Kittrell
- Susan Pulley – Town Commissioner of Kittrell
- Mary Jo Floyd – Town Commissioner of Kittrell
- Robert Baylor Tunstall – Town Commissioner of Kittrell
The Middleburg list included:
- Ray Bullock – Mayor of Middleburg
- Annie Fudge – Town Council of Middleburg
- Mamie Turner – Town Council of Middleburg
- Ruth Nance Town – Town Council of Middleburg
Based on the information at hand, there would appear to be no contests. However, keep in mind Ray Bullock won as a write-in candidate in 2019 over someone who filed. Write ins can be a factor in such small precincts. Kittrell is and Middleburg is a complete precinct in and of itself.
In these respective municipalities within Vance County, a voter makes one choice for mayor and choses three from the list of names, or writes in a name, for commissioner/council person. Tunstall was elected in 2019 by write in as only Pulley and Floyd had filed that year.
