On this week’s North Carolina News Roundup…

Candidate filing nears its close. We consider the dominoes that have fallen, and other dominoes that never entered the game. Meanwhile, US Senator Thom Tillis makes an endorsement of note. The NCAA is held in check in part by North Carolina’s Attorney General. And we get an update on the flu, RSV, and Covid during this viral season.
