Cawthorn considers switching NC districts, surprising GOP. He’d represent Mecklenburg

RALEIGH

Rep. Madison Cawthorn knocked off a Republican endorsed by President Donald Trump and Mark Meadows en route to his seat in Congress.

Now the young conservative could shake up the North Carolina congressional delegation once again.

In the political map approved by Republican state lawmakers last week, Cawthorn is the incumbent in the 14th Congressional District. But he told Republican leaders in his current Western North Carolina district that he is instead considering running in the 13th Congressional District — one that most political observers thought had been drawn for N.C. House Speaker Tim Moore.

“I think he’s leaning toward it, if it’s a feasible thing,” said Lee Emerson, chairman of the Polk County GOP, in a telephone interview Wednesday night.

The 13th district includes the western part of Mecklenburg County and all of Polk, Rutherford, McDowell, Burke, Gaston and Cleveland counties. Moore is from Cleveland County.

1. I really hope he does

Because he's got less chance of reelection in another district, and it would get him out of our district. Not that I wish him on district 13, I just think they are less likely to elect him.

I live in NC 11, where cawthorn was born and raised and elected because of that.
It's a red area, but he beat the candidate Meadows endorsed in the primary.

13 is red too, but not his home district.
I really just want him gone.

4. 13 will elect their owqn homeslice

Wheels McNazi is on his way out, although he'll pimp himself for other GQP Radicalized insurrectionists who hate democracy.

I'm in his district, too, and while it's old school, traditional conservative Red, Cawthorn has pissed off the Local GOP leadership. The retired ladies of leisure I play golf with are my weather vane, and I'm hopeful.

The addition of Boone and those around App State might add enough democratic leaning voters and young people so that we can flip this district.
