Rep. Renée Price is slated to earn the Democratic nomination — and general election victory — in District 50 of the North Carolina House of Representatives based on the unofficial primary election results.
Price led with 74.91% of the vote over healthcare nonprofit worker Mary Lucas (21.56%) and Reidsville resident Brandall Redd (3.54%) during the early returns, and maintained her strong lead through the night. She ultimately finished with roughly 6,400 more votes than Lucas.
Price, who is a former Orange County Commissioner and an artist, first earned election to N.C. House District 50 in 2022 and earned re-election unopposed in 2024. She campaigned as an experienced legislator who uses social justice and civil rights as guiding principles to her decision-making, citing her support of Medicaid expansion and votes against Republican-led efforts to limit abortion access and efforts to curtail local government’s control over zoning.
With no Republican candidate filed in District 50 this cycle, Price will likely be easily elected in the November general election.
Additional results from around Orange and Chatham counties on Tuesday night can be found on Chapelboro’s 2026 Primary Election Results page.
