The filing period has wrapped up for candidates running for local office this year, and there are going to be several crowded races this fall.
Three candidates filed to run for office in Orange County before the deadline on Friday. Incumbent Chapel Hill Town Council member Donna Bell filed to run for reelection – and two residents filed to run for Chapel Hill-Carrboro City School board, Gregg Gerdau and former Carrboro Alderman Joal Hall Broun.
Both races will be highly contested: there are now nine candidates on the ballot for four open spots on the Town Council, and eight candidates for four spots on the school board.
WCHL’s Aaron Keck and Elizabeth Friend broke down the ballot on the Friday evening news.
