The race in the South could become a key contest in Democrats&#8217; quest to win back a majority next fall in the U.S. House.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m running for Congress because the people of North Carolina&#8217;s 3rd congressional district deserve someone who will show up and fight for them,&#8221; Jaslow said in a campaign statement.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>But the physician&#8217;s political future became a bit more muddled this fall, after Republican legislators in Raleigh <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/north-carolina-redistricting-congressional-map\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">changed the boundaries of his seat<\/a><\/span> 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&#8217;s 3rd Congressional District to the 1st District, which is held by Democratic Rep. Don Davis.<\/p>\n<p>GOP leaders made the move as similar efforts played out around the country to try to protect the party&#8217;s narrow majority in the U.S. House.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Murphy announced afterwards that he would run for another term in Congress and was soon endorsed by President Trump.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I am very excited about serving my old friends again in Greene, Lenoir and eastern Wayne while looking forward to new friendships in western Wayne and Wilson County,&#8221; Murphy said in a statement at the time. &#8220;These new counties will further strengthen my commitment to our beloved veterans and active-duty military, local manufacturing interests as well as North Carolina&#8217;s cherished and vital agricultural economy.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>While the 1st and 3rd Districts are both still viewed as Republican-leaning areas, the impact brought about by redistricting isn&#8217;t without political risk for conservatives.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Murphy&#8217;s district is now 43% Democratic, up from 39% Democratic before it was redrawn, whereas Davis&#8217; seat went from being 48% to 44% Democratic, according to a <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/texas-californias-redistricting-maps\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">CBS News analysis of 2024 presidential election data<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Trump has won North Carolina in the last three presidential elections, though each of the races in the state has been close. He has offered his support to Murphy.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Greg knows the Wisdom and Courage required to Defend our Country, Support our Brave Military\/Veterans, and Ensure PEACE THROUGH STRENGTH,&#8221; Trump said in an <a href=\"https:\/\/truthsocial.com\/@realDonaldTrump\/posts\/115434861975122052\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">October social media post<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Hefty political spending is already expected to head to the state for next year&#8217;s midterms, where former Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper represents his party&#8217;s best chance at winning back a GOP-held seat in the Senate. To have a reasonable shot at defeating Murphy, Democrats will likely need plenty to break their way, along with the typical political gravity of an incumbent president&#8217;s party struggling in the midterms.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Jaslow also brings a notable biography to the contest. Until earlier this year, she had worked as the CEO of The Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America. In announcing her departure, a news release described her as having &#8220;made history in 2023 as the first woman and first openly gay veteran to lead a major veterans service organization.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>As of Thursday, she does not live in the district, but is expected to soon.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>And in opening her campaign, Jaslow made clear what kind of focus she plans to take against the Republican incumbent within this newly shaped North Carolina district.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;As an American who has dedicated my life to serving my country, first in uniform and with the responsibility of leading soldiers in wartime, I&#8217;m furious that Greg Murphy seems to believe that public service is about serving himself and his friends and not his constituents,&#8221; Jaslow said in a statement.\u00a0<\/p>\n<section class=\"content__body--footer\">\n<\/section>\n<p>  <!-- data-recirc-source=\"queryly\" --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"component list recirculation component--type-recirculation \">\n        <\/aside>\n<section class=\"content__body--footer\">\n      <!-- tags --><br \/>\n    <\/section>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- ItShrt World News -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"1882483372\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/republicans-north-carolina-redistricting-democrat-looking-to-take-advantage-allison-jaslow\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>North Carolina Republicans redrew the state&#8217;s congressional maps this fall, in the hopes of improving their chances at ousting a<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":61787,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-61786","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-politics"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Republicans redrew a North Carolina district held by a GOP incumbent.
