Is this seat the Charlotte suburbs?
Charlotte suburbs, Lumbee country, and rural areas in-between.
That is probably why McCready lost - he didn't know that Bladen County was in the district. How many times did he speak in Elizabethtown, and how many times did he fly out to Hollywood or San Francisco for a fund raising event?
Bladen County isn't in NC-9, Jim. You might be looking at an older map before they redistricted.
About half of Bladen County is in NC-09, on the maps as they were redrawn in 2016.
In addition to Charlotte suburbs and rural areas, the district also includes suburbs of Fayetteville (basically everything south and east of the city center).
