NC-01: North Carolina Rep. Don Davis will run for reelection from his redrawn district

North Carolina Democrat Don Davis, whose House seat was made significantly redder by state Republicans under a new congressional map, announced Monday that he would run for a third term from his redrawn 1st District, even though his home now lies in a neighboring district.

“Many feel Washington, D.C., isn’t serving their needs, and the redistricting battle clearly proves it,’’ Davis said on social media. “I’m running in NC-01 to ensure everyone, from the northeast to the coast, has a powerful voice in Congress. We’re in this fight together!”

Earlier this month, Davis topped CQ Roll Call’s list of the most vulnerable members of the House heading into the 2026 midterm elections.

His decision, first reported by Punchbowl News, comes more than a month after the Republican-controlled North Carolina legislature redrew the state’s congressional lines at the urging of President Donald Trump. The effort was part of a nationwide redistricting push by Trump and his allies, who are seeking to bolster Republicans’ chances of maintaining their House majority next year.

1. Davis is my Congressman

When I moved to NC in 2016 I had a Dem Congressman, then my district was gerrymandered and I had a Republican. Then there was a court battle and I was back to a Dem (Davis) and now they have gerrymandered the district once again to be more Republican. It's absolutely ridiculous.

2. He is also my Congressman

I actually live in the town where he lives, I don't know where his house is though. Our whole county was removed (along with Wayne and Wilson) and replaced with white coastal counties. I have no idea if he can hold on or not but I will say he is the only Democrat who has any chance of doing so.
