Democrat Graig Meyer has won re-election to his seat representing North Carolina's Senate District 23, defeating Republican challenger Laura Pichardo.
With 75% of precincts reporting in the race, Meyer held a 70.95% to 29.05% lead over Pichardo — with the overwhelming majority of Orange County voters favoring the incumbent, while the results votes from Caswell and Person counties slightly favored Pirchardo, a first-time candidate.
Once certified, this will be Meyer's second term in the Senate. He previously served in the North Carolina House of Representatives for nine years, representing District 50, which consisted of northern Orange County and Caswell County. Meyer left his seat in the House to run for Senate in 2022, as Valerie Foushee moved from the state government to run for Congress.
