Phyllis Portie-Ascott is projected to win the lone contested Orange County commissioner race on Tuesday night, earning her first election to the county board.

The Democrat earned 76.16% of the votes with 50% of the county's precincts reporting, which project as enough to defeat Republican candidate H. Nathan Robinson in the race for a District 2 seat, which represents Hillsborough and northern Orange County on the elected board.

Portie-Ascott is already a familiar face among the county commissioners, having been appointed nearly two years ago to a seat left vacant by the election of Renée Price to the North Carolina House of Representatives. Despite that time on the board, this cycle represented Portie-Ascott's first campaign for the county position after previously having been the first vice chair of the Orange County Democratic Party. The victory means Portie-Ascott will now be able to serve a full, four-year term on the board.

Alongside Portie-Ascott, Marilyn Carter earned election to a District 1 seat as a first-time candidate who was running unopposed. Incumbents Jean Hamilton (District 1) and Amy Fowler (At-Large) earned re-election Tuesday as well, as each were running unopposed.Follow along our Election Night Special broadcast on the radio or streaming, and follow Chapelboro's coverage as more races begin to get voting totals.
