Four candidates received at least four votes to become finalists:

• Shelia Huggins, Durham attorney with municipal government experience.
• Chelsea Cook, attorney with Legal Aid of North Carolina’s Durham Eviction Diversion Program.

The finalists are set to be interviewed during a meeting on Jan. 8.
