SALISBURY — On the final day of candidate filing Friday, another Salisbury Democrat added his name to the now-crowded race for Rowan County’s Board of Commissioners.

Sam Post, owner of the PhenomWell CBD Store, filed for the county board seat on Friday. Three seats will be on the ballot, and Republican incumbents Greg Edds, Jim Greene and Judy Klusman have all filed for re-election. Post is joined in the Democratic side by fellow Democrat Alisha-Byrd Clark, who currently sits on the Rowan-Salisbury Schools Board of Education.

Michael Julian and Angie Spillman, two Republicans from Salisbury, are also challengers in the race.

Three Republicans will advance from the primary. There will be no Democratic primary because there are fewer Democratic candidates than seats on the ballot.

The sheriff’s race is another crowded one. Former N.C. Highway Patrol trooper Carlton Killian, along with veteran and former corrections officer Simon Brown, are the only two Democrats who filed for the sheriff’s election.

Republican candidates include Rowan County Commissioner and Charlotte police officer Mike Caskey; N.C. Highway Patrol retiree and school resource officer Tommie Cato; Rowan County Detention Center supervisor Capt. Greg Hannold; Rowan County Sheriff’s Detective and Rowan-Salisbury Schools Board of Education member Travis Allen; retired state trooper and school resource officer Brad Potts; and trucking company owner Jack Eller from Woodleaf.

There will be a Democratic and Republican primary for sheriff.

In the local district attorney race, candidates include longtime incumbent Brandy Cook, a Republican, and former Assistant District Attorney Paxton Butler, also a Republican.

A handful of Salisburians will compete for four local district court seats, and all candidates are Republicans. Candidates include Chris Sease and incumbent Kevin Eddinger for seat No. 1; incumbent Beth Dixon for seat No. 2; Lauren Hoben and Cynthia Dry for seat No. 3; and incumbent James Randolph for seat No. 4.

The original candidate filing period for the 2022 election began Dec. 6 and was scheduled to end on Dec. 17. But the North Carolina Supreme Court halted the filing period and pushed back the date of the primary election from March 8 to May 17 due to ongoing litigation surrounding state legislative and congressional redistricting maps. State Republicans have called on the U.S. Supreme Court to intervene on a congressional map adopted by a three-judge panel of the Superior Court for use in the 2022 election, but the court did not weigh in by the time candidate filing ended at noon on Friday. The resumed filing period began on Feb. 24.

Filing for the Rowan-Salisbury Schools Board of Education will be later this year.
