RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) - Republican U.S. Rep. Richard Hudson has won reelection to his North Carolina seat in a district that runs through several southern counties.
Despite a mandated redrawing of the state’s congressional map that helped make the race competitive, the ally of President Donald Trump won the Republican-leaning 8th Congressional District that is located in the southern portion of the state and includes the city of Concord.
His challenger, Democrat Patricia Timmons-Goodson, had served on North Carolina’s state Supreme Court.
