Do we know who's running against Rene Ellmers yet?

[auburngrad82]

She's done absolutely nothing in the two years since she beat Etheridge and is having a LOT of trouble raising money to keep her seat. Seems like she should be pretty vulnerable.

1. She's done something - makes us change the channel or mute whenever she is on the TeeVee!

Seriously, I don't know the answer to your question, but she is, as expected, useless, just like Burr - but then again Hagan hasn't been much, either.

We don't exactly have a stellar cast of pols in this state, with the exception of a very few.

2. I had been hearing Etheridge was gonna give it another go..

But since he is now running for governor Im guessing thats the end of that. I actually live in Ellmers district. I hope somebody steps up. I can definitely see myself volunteering a lot of time for the right candidate. Ellmers has to go!

3. Yeah, I live in her district as well.

She pretty much just takes up space. I can't wait until we get someone to run against her.

4. Anybody heard anything yet?

I just sent an email to the NC Democratic party. Hopefully I get a reply.

5. Well it's been a month...

The Democratic party never responded to my email. I still don't know who if anybody is running against Ellmers.

6. I found this.

It's from April 8th.

Ellmers began reaching out in the fall, said campaign spokeswoman Jessica N. Wood. She attended party club meetings, visited businesses, took part in a Richard Petty fish fry in Asheboro and attended an event with former Republican presidential candidate Michele Bachmann in Moore County.

George Little of Moore County, who worked for two Republican governors, said he decided to help Ellmers after meeting her at the Bachmann event. He found her to be forthright and knowledgeable, he said.

Ellmers has three Republicans running against her in the primary. Three Democrats and a Libertarian also are seeking to win the Republican-favoring district.

7. Found 2 Democrats running against her.

There was apparently a third. But apparently he has already withdrawn.

8. NC state board of elections candidate filing list pdf:

indicates a third D candidate -- Jim Bibbs

but as you said

Second Congressional District candidate Jim Bibbs of Pittsboro said last week (3/20) that he is dropping out of the May primary. He said a family member recently suffered an illness and he needs to deal with that instead of running an election campaign ...
He declined to discuss the illness in detail. Although he is ending his campaign, Bibbs’ name will remain on the primary ballot. Democrats Toni Morris of Fayetteville and Steve Wilkins of Southern Pines are also running. http://blogs.fayobserver.com/peoplesbusiness/March-2012/Democrat-Jim-Bibbs-dropping-out-of-2nd-District-co
