Raleigh and Capitol Hill are abuzz this week after the Republican General Assembly released the new Congressional districts map. These maps are a political death sentence for Brad Miller, Larry Kissell, and Heath Shuler.
Mike McIntyre is also marginally threatened thanks to certain Democratic strongholds being ceded to other districts. For North Carolinians this is a strong opportunity for new leadership as we continue to see the wreckage that Washington DC has wrought about our state and the South.
In the districts currently held by Miller, Kissell, and Shuler, the primaries are currently wide open. All three have a more suburban to rural makeup, with areas relatively unaffected by the influx of Northern immigrants. All three districts have also been devastated by the policies coming out of Washington. Once proud bastions of manufacturing are now economic ghost towns, hoping for a Walmart to set up shop.
It is in these areas that constitutional conservative candidates, with populist economic messages on trade, have the potential to score big in the Republican primary. The time is now for people to rally around such a candidate to get our message out.
