RALEIGH, (SGRToday.com) - The slate of candidates is growing for North Carolina's primary election in May. The latest list from the State Board of Elections shows dozens of filings up through February 12 at 11 a.m. The elections office has been closed since then due to poor weather. 
 
The election board's records are available at http://www.ncsbe.gov/ncsbe/Portals/0/FilesP/CandidateFilingList.pdf
 
So far, two Democrats -- Malcolm Graham and Alma Adams -- have filed to fill the unexpired term of 12th District Congressman Mel Watt, who left the seat to lead a federal agency. No Republicans have filed. The seat is seen as a lock for Democrats.
 
Fifth District Republican incumbent Virginia Foxx has filed for re-election, and she also has a GOP challenger, Philip Doyle.
 
First District Democratic incumbent G.K. Butterfield has also filed in another safe seat for Democrats.
