NC: Independent to Challenge Democrat for Congressional Seat

From the News and Record:

State Rep. Nelson Cole started out the primary season as an uncontested incumbent but now faces a challenger in the November general election. Dr. Bert Jones, a Rockingham County dentist and a former county commissioner, garnered enough signatures in May to be placed on the ballot as an independent candidate for House District 65. Cole, a Democrat, has occupied the seat since 1992.
