Filing period kicks off election season. Here's what to know about Cumberland County races
From the mayor's seat to small-town boards, voters in municipalities across Cumberland County will help decide the future of local governments this fall. But first, candidates have to make it official. Filing for municipal elections in Cumberland County begins noon July 7 and ends noon July 18, according to the Cumberland County Board of Elections. This year's ballot will include races in Fayetteville, Hope Mills, Spring Lake and Cumberland County's smaller municipalities. The primary Oct. 7 will be followed by the municipal general election on Nov. 4, if necessary. Early voting for the primary runs from Sept. 18 through Oct. 5. Early voting for the general election begins Oct. 16 and ends Nov. 1. Absentee voting by mail begins Sept. 5 for the primary and Oct. 3 for the general election. Ballot requests are due by Sept. 30 and Oct. 29, respectively. Completed ballots must be received by 7:30 p.m. on Election Day to be counted. In Fayetteville, all 10 seats on the City Council are up for grabs, including the mayor and nine district-based council seats. Each position carries a two-year term. Hope Mills voters will elect a mayor and all five members of the Board of Commissioners. Spring Lake voters will elect a mayor and five commissioners. Other municipalities with races on the ballot include Eastover, Falcon, Godwin, Linden, Stedman and Wade. The Eastover Sanitary District will also hold an election for a board member seat. There are no countywide races on the ballot for seats on the Board of Commissioners or Board of Education. Filing fees vary significantly depending on the office sought. In most Cumberland County municipalities, the filing fee is nominal — typically between $5 and $15. But in Fayetteville, the fee to run for mayor is $376.76, and the fee for a City Council seat is $206, according to the Board of Elections. That's because North Carolina law requires filing fees to equal 1% of the annual salary for the office. Fayetteville's elected officials receive higher compensation than their counterparts in smaller towns, resulting in substantially higher fees. The State Board of Elections maintains that the percentage-based system is applied uniformly across the state. To vote in the Oct. 7 primary, residents must register by Sept. 13. The registration deadline for the Nov. 4 general election is Oct. 11. Eligible voters can register online through the North Carolina Division of Motor Vehicles or by submitting a voter registration form to the county Board of Elections office. Same-day registration is also available during the early voting period with proof of residency. Voters can check their registration status, find their polling place and learn more at This article originally appeared on The Fayetteville Observer: Filing opens July 7 for Fayetteville, Spring Lake, Hope Mills 2025 races

Trump's ‘reciprocal' tariff pause is about to expire. Cue the confusion
The 90-day deadline President Donald Trump set for countries to make trade deals with the United States or risk substantially higher tariffs is just days away. What will happen after that's reached at 12:01 a.m. ET on July 9 is anyone's best guess. The stakes could not be higher, with the entire global economy on notice. On April 2, a date Trump dubbed 'Liberation Day,' he unveiled new, 'reciprocal' tariff rates for key US trading partners, with some levies as high as 50%. Collectively, the rates were the highest the US has charged on foreign goods in over a century. Economists quickly sounded alarms about a recession hitting not just certain countries, but rather the whole world. As the tariffs went into effect on April 9, they sparked a sell-off on Wall Street and the bond market rebelled, forcing Trump to announce a three-month pause to give countries more time to solidify deals with the US, saying investors 'were getting a little bit yippy, a little afraid.' Since then, almost all goods the US imports have been subject to a minimum 10% tariff. Stocks, meanwhile, have not only recovered all those losses but have set multiple new record highs. And inflation has barely budged. But if tariffs start to rise again and inflation roars back, those gains could quickly get erased all over again. After months of meeting with foreign government officials and countless claims that several trading partners were on the cusp of completing deals, only three have been announced. One of those, with Vietnam, has yet to be finalized and few details are known about it. Still, the Trump administration is advertising that a flurry of deals are forthcoming. At the same time, the president has threatened to send letters to countries that don't ink deals, telling them the rate at which their exports to the US will be taxed. Leading up to July 9, Trump administration officials threatened to simply return to April tariff rates, or possibly even higher levies. They also floated the possibility of extending the pause for countries 'negotiating in good faith,' without defining what that means or which it includes. It's not clear where Trump, who will get the ultimate say, stands. 'We can do whatever we want. We could extend it; we could make it shorter,' Trump recently said. 'I'd like to make it shorter. I'd like to just sent letters out to everybody, 'Congratulations, you're paying 25%.'' 'We'll look at how a country treats us — are they good, are they not so good — some countries we don't care, we'll just send a high number out,' Trump also recently said. On Friday, he said he'd begin sending letters over the coming days. 'They'll range in value from maybe 60% or 70% tariffs to 10% and 20% tariffs,' Trump said. For many countries, such rates would deal an even bigger economic blow compared to the levels Trump announced in April. But countries may have the opportunity to still negotiate, given Trump said most new rates won't take effect until August 1. The deal Trump announced on Wednesday with Vietnam, which calls for minimum tariffs of 20% on Vietnamese goods, double the rate throughout the three-month pause, has raised the possibility that countries may not be able to score lower rates even if they reach a trade agreement. But considering tariffs on Vietnam were set to rise to a minimum of 46% if the rates Trump announced in April held — which was among the highest Trump announced — 20% suddenly feels like a relief. That may be an intentional strategy on Trump's part, allowing him to stick to his major campaign promise of levying higher tariffs on other nations in an effort to raise revenues and bring manufacturing jobs back to the US. 'On balance, we take the US-Vietnam accord as a positive step toward more durable bilateral deals for the US and toward greater clarity for investors,' Ulrike Hoffmann-Burchardi, global head of equities at UBS Global Wealth Management, said in a note last week. 'Headline risks around trade may persist as negotiations continue, but we think the market impact should moderate as President Trump's negotiating tactics become increasingly familiar,' he said. 'Ultimately, we expect the US administration to prioritize economic stability over more maximalist tariffs, especially ahead of the 2026 midterm elections.' 擷取數據時發生錯誤 登入存取你的投資組合 擷取數據時發生錯誤 擷取數據時發生錯誤 擷取數據時發生錯誤 擷取數據時發生錯誤
