North Carolina state Sen. Mike Woodard filed Wednesday to be a candidate for mayor of Durham this fall.
Woodard, a Democrat who has served in the General Assembly since 2013, previously served on the Durham City Council for several years. First-term Mayor Elaine O’Neal announced last month she was not seeking reelection.
Woodard, 64, said he plans to continue serving in the Senate during the campaign. He would step down if he was elected mayor. Woodard could remain in the Senate if he lost, since his two-year Senate term runs through the end of 2024.
