GOP Rep. Madison Cawthorn Now Has A Democratic Challenger

A Democratic LGBTQ activist launched a campaign Wednesday to challenge far-right Republican Rep. Madison Cawthorn for the chance to represent North Carolina’s 11th District on Capitol Hill.

In her first video for the 2022 campaign, Jasmine Beach-Ferrara slammed Cawthorn for his role in the “Save America” rally held by former President Donald Trump directly before the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.

“Some people will say a gay woman who’s a Christian minister just can’t get elected in the South,” she began. “I say an insurrectionist who flirts with Nazis and fires up a violent crowd to attack our democracy ― well, he shouldn’t get reelected anywhere.”




Beach-Ferrara is currently serving as a commissioner for Buncombe County, which contains Asheville. In her video, she emphasized working across the aisle to alleviate the opioid crisis.
