The three Republicans running for governor are Salisbury lawyer Bill Graham, former Supreme Court Justice Bob Orr and state Sen. Fred Smith. The Democrats are State Treasurer Richard Moore and Lt. Gov. Beverly Perdue.

Starting this week, UNC-TV will begin a series of forums featuring all the candidates.
