2016 United States Senate election in North Carolina
The 2016 United States Senate election in North Carolina was held November 8, 2016, to elect a member of the United States Senate to represent the State of North Carolina , concurrently with the 2016 U.S. presidential election , as well as other elections to the United States Senate in other states and elections to the United States House of Representatives and various state and local elections . Primary elections were held March 15.[ 1]
Incumbent Republican Senator Richard Burr won re-election to a third term in office against Democratic former state representative Deborah Ross and Libertarian Sean Haugh .
Republican primary
There had been speculation that Burr might retire,[ 2] but he said in September 2014 that he was "planning" on running[ 3] and reaffirmed this in January 2015.[ 4] If Burr had retired, the seat was expected to draw significant interest, with potential Republican candidates including U.S. representatives George Holding , Mark Meadows , and Robert Pittenger , Labor Commissioner Cherie Berry , Lieutenant Governor Dan Forest , Agriculture Commissioner Steve Troxler , State Senator Phil Berger , and former Ambassador to Denmark James P. Cain .[ 2] [ 3]
