North Carolina’s 6th congressional district includes a portion of Orange County. Now that Rep. Howard Coble has announced he will not seek re-election, six of his fellow Republicans have announced they want the GOP nomination for the district considered to be safe Republican territory.
Former banker Bruce VonCannon announced Wednesday that he will seek the GOP nomination for North Carolina’s 6th District, becoming the sixth Republican to enter the crowded race.
VonCannon joins Rockingham County District Attorney Phil Berger Jr., Greensboro City Council member Zack Matheny, Baptist pastors Dan Collison and Bradley Walker, and navy veteran Don Webb in the contest.
And what about the Democrats?
On the Democratic side, former University of North Carolina general counsel Laura Fjeld is running for the seat.
With so many Republicans in the field, this one will be very, very interesting and may require a runoff.
