Last Friday marked the last day of filing season for the May 6 primaries and school board election and a final-day flurry of filings resulted in a number of races turning from non-competitive to contested and perhaps the first time in county history where a husband and wife could find themselves running against each other.

Among the filings:

• Roger Road community activist Neloa Jones and Mary Wolff joined Bernadette Pelissier in the Democratic primary for the lone at-large county commissioner seat.

• Wolff’s husband, Kevin, who ran unsuccessfully for mayor of Chapel Hill last year, filed for the Republican primary for the at-large commissioner seat. He is uncontested in that race.

• Judge Alonzo Brown Coleman Jr. of Hillsborough drew a challenge on the last day of filing as Chapel Hill attorney Betsy J. Wolfenden joined the race for District Court Judge in the 15B district, which covers Orange and Chatham counties. The other primary race for a judicial race in District 15B is a three-way race to replace Judge Patricia Devine, featuring Assistant District Attorney Lamar F. Proctor Jr. of Efland; Page Vernon, a Chatham County lawyer and former assistant district attorney; and Chapel Hill attorney Glenn Gerding. Incumbent judges Beverly Scarlett and Chuck Anderson have no primary challengers.
