epublicans and Democrats celebrated Labor Day by kicking off the county-to-county, household-to-household fight for political dominance of North Carolina.

“Traditionally, Labor Day, for lack of a better term, is the starting block,” said state Sen. Phil Berger, an Eden Republican and the party’s leader in the Senate. “The public really starts focusing its attention on the elections.”
