She secured the nomination by winning the June\u202f3,\u202f2026 Democratic primary with 66.4% of the vote (1,860 votes) against Roddrick Howell, who received 33.6% (940 votes)\u30101\u3011. The general election is scheduled for November\u202f3,\u202f2026, where she will face incumbent Republican Cody Huneycutt\u30101\u3011.\n\nThe office she seeks is a seat in the North Carolina House of Representatives, the lower chamber of the state legislature. Members of the House serve two\u2011year terms, draft, debate, and vote on state laws, and represent the interests of their specific districts, including District\u202f67, which encompasses Stanly County\u30101\u3011.\n\nPublicly available sources do not provide details about Torres\u2019s education, professional background, or prior elected experience. Both the Ballotpedia entry and a local media candidate guide note the absence of biographical information and that she did not respond to the outlet\u2019s questionnaire\u301019\u3011.\n\nSimilarly, the sources do not outline a specific career history for Torres. No prior occupations, community roles, or public\u2011service positions are documented in the available material.\n\nTorres\u2019s campaign record to date consists of her primary victory and her placement on the November ballot. The WSOC\u2011TV candidate guide indicates that she did not submit responses to their questionnaire, so her policy positions and platform statements are not captured in the current public record\u301019\u3011. As a result, specific legislative priorities or accomplishments cannot be detailed at this time.\n\n## Sources\n- [1] [Jocelyn Torres - Ballotpedia](https://ballotpedia.org/Jocelyn_Torres)\n- [19] [The Political Beat Candidate Guide: North Carolina State House District 67 \u2013 WSOC TV](https://www.wsoctv.com/news/local/political-beat-candidate-guide-north-carolina-state-house-district-67/OY4VM6YZBFHVTC7VW2D35LTU2I/)","firstname":"Jocelyn","lastname":"Torres","middlename":"Morales","suffix":null,"token":"d6a076b4f0e3cb42"},"token":"e8Lvq8Kuzp"},{"candidatename":"Cody Huneycutt","chatgptsummary":null,"notes":null,"party":"REP","person":{"biography":"Cody Lee Huneycutt is the Republican incumbent serving in the North Carolina House of Representatives for District\u202f67.
