Six candidates are running in the Republican primary for North Carolina Auditor on March 5, 2024. Three lead in fundraising: Dave Boliek (R), Charles Dingee (R), and Jeff Tarte (R).
Boliek is an attorney and member of the University of North Carolina–Chapel Hill Board of Trustees. Boliek says his experience managing the university’s investments and as a prosecuting attorney make him the best-qualified candidate to serve as state auditor.
Dingee is a small business owner. Dingee has served as Congressional District 13 chairman for the state Republican Party and as 1st vice-chairman of the Wake County GOP. Dingee says he is running to promote fiscal responsibility and transparency. Dingee says he will audit the state board of elections for the first time in more than a decade to establish whether voters remained registered after their deaths.
