3 open House seats draw slew of candidates in North Carolina
RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — North Carolina is teeming with candidates for Congress in Tuesday’s primaries, as three of the state’s 13 U.S. House incumbents are not seeking reelection.
Nearly 30 primary candidates are scrambling for the seats now held by three Republicans.
Reps. Mark Walker of Greensboro and George Holding of Raleigh are leaving because their districts changed dramatically after state legislators redrew the congressional map 3½ months ago. The redistricting made Holding's 2nd District and Walker's 6th District extremely likely for Democrats to win in November, politicians from both parties say.
