North Carolina Independent Candidate for U.S. House Appears to Qualify; No Independent Had Ever Before Appeared on a Government-Printed Ballot

Posted on by April 9, 2024

North Carolina has never had an independent candidate for U.S. House on a government-printed ballot. But in 2024, Shelane Etchison appears to have qualified in the Ninth District. Here is her website. She needed 7,460 valid signatures and the county election boards have verified 7,532. UPDATE: see this story.

The Ninth District is in central North Carolina, just west of Raleigh. It has a first-term Republican incumbent, Richard Hudson. He is running for re-election. In 2022 he won the general election in a two-person race with 56.5%.
