RALEIGH, N.C. — North Carolina Republican Rep. George Holding announced on Friday he won't run for reelection — the victim of a congressional map redrawn following a court order that now makes his district lean to the left.
“I just don’t see an opportunity to win in the district that’s been drawn for me,” Holding said in a brief interview Friday in Washington. Deborah Ross, the unsuccessful Democratic U.S. Senate nominee in 2016 against GOP Sen. Richard Burr, already announced this week she was running for the new 2nd District seat.
“Yes, the newly redrawn congressional districts were part of the reason I have decided not to seek reelection,” Holding said in a news release. “But, in addition, this is also a good time for me to step back and reflect on all that I have learned.”
