North Carolina Republicans redrew the state's congressional maps this fall, in the hopes of improving their chances at ousting a Democrat in one of the country's most competitive districts. In doing so, they may have created a window for a Democrat to make what has been a reliably Republican neighboring seat more competitive.
CBS News has learned that Allison Jaslow, an Iraq War veteran, plans to file Thursday for North Carolina's third congressional district seat. The race in the South could become a key contest in Democrats' quest to win back a majority next fall in the U.S. House.
"I'm running for Congress because the people of North Carolina's 3rd congressional district deserve someone who will show up and fight for them," Jaslow said in a campaign statement. GOP Rep. Greg Murphy has held the seat since a summer 2019 special election, and won another term in the 2024 election with more than 77% of the vote.
But the physician's political future became a bit more muddled this fall, after Republican legislators in Raleigh changed the boundaries of his seat in an attempt to make the Democratic-held 1st Congressional District more favorable to Republicans. In part, the new map transferred a large swath of the eastern portion of Murphy's 3rd Congressional District to the 1st District, which is held by Democratic Rep. Don Davis.

I love you, BRDS.
So much like a racist, sexist, nazi lover and a psychopath that I'm pretty sure you qualify for them all.
I hope this brave warrior beats the pants off you. Then you can do your own urological exam. It's all you're good for.
You are certainly NOT A SERVANT OF THE PEOPLE OF NC.
GO, Allison Jaslow!!
