The only elected Republican from North Carolina’s largest county in the state legislature is running for Congress next year for a seat currently held by a Democrat who narrowly won in 2022.
HOLLY SPRINGS, N.C. — The only elected Republican legislator from North Carolina’s largest county is running for a congressional seat currently held by a first-term Democrat who narrowly won in 2022.
Rep. Erin Paré of Wake County announced her plans on Wednesday to seek to represent what is now the 13th Congressional District, which includes portions of Raleigh and fast-growing communities to the south and east. Republicans in charge of the General Assembly plan this fall to redraw congressional districts in light of court decisions for the 2024 elections.
New lines favoring the GOP could make it more challenging for current 13th District Democratic Rep. Wiley Nickel to win reelection next year. Nickel defeated his 2022 Republican opponent by 3 percentage points. In her video campaign announcement, which includes images from protests and riots, Paré says she is “everything the far left fears the most” and calls herself a “conservative wife, mother and business owner.” A news release said Paré was putting $400,000 of her own money into the campaign as it begins.
