Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

Pamela Genant (D)

The people in our district deserve a voice that can truly speak for everyone living here. We need someone who’ll stand up for both suburban and rural towns and fight for things that’ll impact all of us.

I can't and won't promise you that I alone can solve all the challenges we face. But I will promise you this: no one will fight harder or work longer for you and your family.

In Congress, I'll fight for things that matter most. We deserve quality healthcare that's affordable, good paying jobs with businesses that treat us with respect, and a fair shot at the American dream for all who want to work for it.

Diana Jimison (Independent)

Challenge the section of HR Bill 4310 that allows media to lie to the American people and hold the media accountable.

Healthcare is broken and needs an overhaul. There has been a major decline in quality of care since the passing of the Affordable Care Act.

Challenge the Federal Reserve Act of 1913. Biden taxation is robbing the people.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Pamela Genant (D)

Healthcare: The status quo is unacceptable. North Carolina deserves a representative who will deliver accessible and affordable health care for every citizen. This isn’t rocket science. If so many other countries can figure it out, then so can we.

Defense: A veteran myself, I understand the importance of a strong national defense. In Congress, I'll work across the aisle to ensure America’s military remains the strongest in the world and honors our promises to veterans.

Diana Jimison (Independent)

My passion is better healthcare for people. I have had many experiences where I've had to play doctor. MRIs have been misread, the wrong diagnoses given, flippant physician attitudes have all affected my daughter, who was born with some challenging issues.

I question any governing body that would allow one person to dictate the direction of a pandemic, while dumbing down thousands of experts in our land. My goal is to seek truth and ensure people are not lied to about critical issues that could affect their lives or families.

I would like to see physicians be able to practice with autonomy without insurance companies denying their medical knowledge of why a patient needs specific testing and/or treatment. Insurance companies have way too much power.

Federal Government's grip needs to be removed from the education system. Education needs to be handled at the state level with heavy parent involvement. The current agenda is to groom our children and dumb them down.

Taxation under the Biden administration should be criminal. Why do we continue to vote for people who only care about themselves? We can not continue on this trajectory. They are trying to break us. It should be illegal to take money from Big Pharma, Big Tech, gas companies, Big banks, etc., especially when the American people are struggling.

I will fight hard to give the church its voice back by challenging the Johnson Amendment of 1954. This move weakened the church.

Who do you look up to? Whose example would you like to follow, and why?

Diana Jimison (Independent)

I look up to the physicians, Pastors, and everyday people who knew a plan was put in place to harm our nation in 2020.Those who stood in the face of adversity and those who continue to fight for truth.

What characteristics or principles are most important for an elected official?

Diana Jimison (Independent)

Morals, ethics, and being able to recognize error and correct this things speedily, along with humility, are essential principles for an elected official.

What qualities do you possess that you believe would make you a successful officeholder?

Diana Jimison (Independent)

I am dependable, a team player but will speak up if something is not right. Character is important to me and I strive to please God with my actions.

What do you believe are the core responsibilities for someone elected to this office?

Diana Jimison (Independent)

Being present, ability to read and understand bills that are presented, advocacy, and the ability to communicate are key responsibilities of a Representative.

What legacy would you like to leave?

Diana Jimison (Independent)

Perseverance, kindness, passion and to impact healthcare, education and our freedoms.

What is the first historical event that happened in your lifetime that you remember? How old were you at the time?

Diana Jimison (Independent)

January 28, 1986

Challenger disaster, explosion of the U.S. space shuttle orbiter Challenger, shortly after its launch from Cape Canaveral, Florida, on January 28, 1986, which claimed the lives of seven astronauts

I was 14 years old

What was the last song that got stuck in your head?

Diana Jimison (Independent)

"There is nothing You can not do"

What qualities does the U.S. House of Representatives possess that makes it unique as an institution?

Diana Jimison (Independent)

"Congress enacts laws that influence the daily lives of all Americans and is intended to serve as the voice of the people. Its responsibilities include funding government functions and programs, holding hearings to inform the legislative process, and oversight of the executive branch."

https://www.visitthecapitol.gov/about-congress#:~:text=Congress%20enacts%20laws%20that%20influence,oversight%20of%20the%20executive%20branch.

Do you believe that it's beneficial for representatives to have previous experience in government or politics?

Diana Jimison (Independent)

In this hour, I do not believe it's necessary to have experience in government or politics. It is not a requirement, and I think career politicians are not working to benefit their constituents but to find ways to pad their own pockets. I'd instead vote for someone who has passion and love and fights for what is ethical and proper. I am endorsed by the NC Grassroots Government.

What do you perceive to be the United States’ greatest challenges as a nation over the next decade?

Diana Jimison (Independent)

Indoctrination of children, heavy taxation, poor quality health care, and our freedoms being completely stripped away are just a few of the greatest challenges we will face in the United States over the next decade.

Do you believe that two years is the right term length for representatives?

Diana Jimison (Independent)

Yes, two to Four

What are your thoughts on term limits?

Diana Jimison (Independent)

Term limits are necessary. Career politicians are bought out and no longer care about the people.

Is there a particular representative, past or present, whom you want to model yourself after?

Diana Jimison (Independent)

I have grown to admire Jim Jordan over the past two years. He has shown courage and strength while fighting for our rights.

Do you believe that compromise is necessary or desirable for policymaking?

Diana Jimison (Independent)

Compromising values and morals should never be considered in policymaking. Some issues can afford compromise as long as lives are not negatively affected.

General election race ratings

See also: Race rating definitions and methods

Ballotpedia provides race ratings from four outlets: The Cook Political Report, Inside Elections, Sabato's Crystal Ball, and DDHQ/The Hill. Each race rating indicates if one party is perceived to have an advantage in the race and, if so, the degree of advantage:

• Safe and Solid ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge and the race is not competitive.
• Likely ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge, but an upset is possible.
• Lean ratings indicate that one party has a small edge, but the race is competitive.
• Toss-up ratings indicate that neither party has an advantage.

Race ratings are informed by a number of factors, including polling, candidate quality, and election result history in the race's district or state.

Post-filing deadline analysis

The following analysis covers all U.S. House districts up for election in North Carolina in 2022. Information below was calculated on March 31, 2022, and may differ from information shown in the table above due to candidate replacements and withdrawals after that time.

In 2022, 103 candidates filed to run for North Carolina’s 14 U.S. House districts, including 60 Republicans, 40 Democrats, two Libertarians, and one independent. That’s 7.4 candidates per district, up from 5.3 in 2020 and 5.0 in 2018.

Here are some other highlights from filings in 2022:

• This was the first filing deadline to take place under new district lines following the 2020 census. North Carolina was apportioned 14 seats after the 2020 census, up from 13 seats in the last round of apportionment following the 2010 census.
• Two incumbents filed to run for re-election in a different district than the one they represented before redistricting. 8th District Rep. Richard Hudson (R) filed for re-election in the 9th District. 9th District Rep. Dan Bishop (R) filed for re-election in the 8th District.
• Four seats were open, meaning no incumbent filed to run. In addition to the newly-created 14th District, this included the 1st, 4th, and 13th Districts: Rep. Ted Budd (R) filed to run for U.S. Senate rather than seeking re-election. Reps. G.K. Butterfield (D) and David Price (D) retired from politics.
• This marked the largest number of open seats since at least 2012. There were three open seats in 2020 and none in 2018.
• Fifteen candidates filed to run in the 11th District, more than any other. This figure includes eight Republicans, six Democrats, and one Libertarian.
