Also filing for commissioner last week were Craig Myers of Mocksville, a Republican, and Justin Vocke of Mocksville, a libertarian. Republicans Mike Butero of Mocksville and Dustin Smith of Advance filed on opening day.

Four seats will be up for election on the Davie County Board of Education. Filing so far are Republicans Jeff Jones of Advance, W.G. “Dub” Potts of Mocksville and Stephanie Hurst of Mocksville.

Potts is the only incumbent school board member to file so far; the other seats are held by Paul Drechsler, Wendy Horne and Cammie Webb.
