3-4-26: Autopsy Of 2026 Primary

Tune in here to this ​Wednesday edition of Breaking With Brett Jensen! Breaking Brett Jensen analyzes the results from the primary elections in several counties across North Carolina. The discussion begins with the defeat of NC Rep. Carla Cunningham by Rodney Sadler. Sadler had the endorsement of Gov. Josh Stein, which Jensen attributes to Cunningham’s decision to cross party lines on a key vote. Jensen then shifts to the Mecklenburg County sheriff’s race, which he characterizes as more interesting. Incumbent Sheriff Garry McFadden won the race with roughly 34% of the vote, defeating Ricky Robbins by approximately 2,600 to 2,800 votes. He then breaks down the Gaston County sheriff’s race, the Cabarrus County state senate race, as well as Mecklenburg commissioner Vilma Leake’s political fallout.
