Rep. George Holding announced this morning he won't seek reelection next year — a decision made inevitable by North Carolina's new congressional map, which turned his Wake County seat into safe Democratic territory
Rep. George Holding announced Friday morning he won't seek reelection next year — a decision made inevitable by North Carolina's new congressional map, which turned his Wake County seat into safe Democratic territory.
A state superior court indicated in an October pretrial motion that it would likely side with Democratic-linked plaintiffs who alleged the map was improperly gerrymandered. The state legislature then crafted a new map, which will likely give North Carolina Republicans an 8-5 advantage. The court accepted and finalized the legislature's plan in a Monday hearing.
In his statement, Holding suggested he was open to future political runs, particularly in 2022, when the state is slated to gain another congressional seat and Sen. Richard Burr will retire: “I am also hopeful that, if it is part of the Good Lord’s plan, I will someday return to public office."
