Franklin Rice is seeking to run for Sheriff of Carteret County as an unaffiliated candidate. North Carolina law requires unaffiliated candidates to collect petition signatures from registered voters in order to be placed on the ballot. Signing the petition does not obligate your vote — it simply allows Franklin’s name to appear on the ballot so citizens have the opportunity to choose.

This is a relaxed, come-and-go event. Stop by to:
Meet Franklin in person
Ask questions and learn more
Sign the petition if you are a registered voter in Carteret County

All are welcome, whether you plan to sign or just want to learn more.
