- Retired Army Col. Laurie Buckhout announced Wednesday she is entering the Republican primary, joining Bobby Hanig, Asa Buck, Eric Rouse and Ashley-Nicole Russell.
- Libertarian Tom Bailey also filed to run, adding to a busy ballot in a district that has repeatedly seen boundary changes.
- A Republican-led 2024 map shifted NC-1 right by moving Beaufort, Hyde, Dare, Craven, Pamlico and Carteret into the district and shifting Wilson, Wayne, Greene and Lenoir out.
