With many Randolph County races settled during the primary, there is one seat that is contested.

Democrat Dale Bennett is challenging incumbent Republican Kenny Kidd for the District 1 Randolph County Board of Commissioners seat.

The Randolph County Commissioner for District 1 is a four-year term.

Kidd has an Associate Degree from Louisburg College, a Bachelor's Degree, from the University of North Carolina Wilmington, according to a report in the Courier-Tribune.

Bennett does not list any higher-education degrees, the Courier-Tribune reported, however, he is a store manager for Sheetz Inc.

The Courier-Tribune asked the candidates questions about the county, such as their priorities, wearing masks and their views on Confederate monuments.  

There is a second commissioner seat on the ballot. However, that race was settled in the primary. District 5 incumbent Maxton McDowell defeated two Republican challengers and is running uncontested in the November election, the Courier-Tribune reported.
