Key Messages

To read this candidate's full survey responses, click here.

---

Independent Representation for the District I’m running to represent the people of this district – not Donald Trump, party leadership, or billionaire donors. Congress works best when members are willing to stand up to any president who abuses power and to wealthy interests that try to buy influence. I will defend the rule of law, democratic norms, and the Constitution, even when it’s politically inconvenient.

---

Fiscal Responsibility and Cost of Living Families are struggling with rising costs while federal debt continues to grow. Fiscal responsibility means reducing waste, improving oversight, and focusing spending on what actually works. I support practical reforms that lower health care and education costs while respecting taxpayers. Government should be efficient, transparent, and fair to both current and future generations.

---

Fixing Health Care the Practical Way Health care costs affect families, employers, and states alike. I’ve worked inside Medicaid and public health systems and believe meaningful reform will come from better incentives, simplified administration, and collaboration across the system. My focus is on lowering costs, improving access, and giving providers flexibility to deliver care more effectively.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Paul Barringer (D)

I am passionate about independent constitutional governance, reducing the influence of money in politics, and practical health care reform. My policy priorities include lowering health care costs, strengthening Medicaid oversight, supporting public education, empowering state and local solutions, and advancing re-entry programs that reduce recidivism. Government should work for people, not powerful interests.

• 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.

Post-filing deadline analysis

The following analysis covers all U.S. House districts up for election in North Carolina in 2026. Information below was calculated on December 19, 2025., and may differ from information shown in the table above due to candidate replacements and withdrawals after that time.

Sixty-seven candidates — 40 Democrats and 27 Republicans — ran for North Carolina’s 14 U.S. House districts. That’s 4.8 candidates per district. There were 4.6 candidates per district in 2024 and 7.14 in 2022. In 2020, when the state had 13 U.S. House districts, there were 4.9 candidates per district. There were 4.3 candidates in 2018, 5.7 in 2016, and 4.6 in 2014.

These were the first elections to take place since the General Assembly of North Carolina passed a new congressional map. The North Carolina Senate passed it on Oct. 21, 2025, and the North Carolina House of Representatives passed it Oct. 22, 2025.

No districts were open in 2026, meaning all incumbents — four Democrats and 10 Republicans — ran for re-election. The only other year since 2014 with no open districts was 2018.

Nineteen primaries — 11 Democratic and eight Republican — were contested in 2026. In total, there were 13 contested primaries in 2024, 22 in 2022, 13 in 2020, 17 in 2018, 16 in 2016, and 17 in 2014.

Eight candidates — six Democrats and two Republicans — ran for the 10th district, the most candidates who ran for a district in 2026.

Eight incumbents — two Democrats and six Republicans — faced a primary challenger in 2026. There were four incumbents in a contested primary in 2024, seven in 2022, three in 2020, eight in 2018, nine in 2016, and six in 2014.

Candidates filed to run in the Republican and Democratic primaries in all 14 districts, meaning no districts were guaranteed to either party.

Partisan Voter Index

See also: The Cook Political Report's Partisan Voter Index

Heading into the 2026 elections, based on results from the 2024 and 2020 presidential elections, the Cook Partisan Voter Index for this district is R+8. This meant that in those two presidential elections, this district's results were 8 percentage points more Republican than the national average. This made North Carolina's 13th the 147th most Republican district nationally.
