Richard Ojeda

Party: Democratic Party

Incumbent: No

Submitted Biography:  "My name is Major Retired Richard Ojeda. I am a husband and a father of three, and I have spent my entire adult life serving this country. I spent 24 years in the U.S. Army, including multiple tours in Iraq and Afghanistan. Fifteen of those years served right here at Fort Bragg in North Carolina’s 9th District. My children grew up here while I was often away, and I knew that my community would keep them safe until I returned home. It would be an honor to serve it in office. After retiring from the military, my wife and I moved to West Virginia to be near our aging parents. I served as a JROTC instructor at the high school level, which opened my eyes to how hard working families were struggling to get by. I later served as a State Senator, where even in a super minority I helped teachers win raises after a historic strike, passed medical cannabis, and higher wages for correctional officers. Several years ago, my wife and I returned to Aberdeen with our parents and extended families. Im proud that our children are raising families of their own here like we did. I have led soldiers in combat and I know what leadership looks like, and what we are watching in Washington today is not what I fought for. I have given a lifetime to service, and I will not sit silent while MAGA politicians tear down the democracy and the freedoms that so many of us fought to defend. That is why I'm stepping into this fight."

Right now, billionaires are rigging the system, and they own the Republican majority in Congress. They are shifting the burden of this country onto working class families while protecting their own wealth and power. That has to change. One of my top priorities is tackling the affordability crisis by tying the minimum wage to the cost of living so anyone working 40 hours a week earns a true living wage. I also support making the first $45,000 of your income tax free to put real money back into the pockets of working people. Do you know who makes less than that in North Carolina? Many teachers and firefighters. They should not be holding this country together for the profit of the billionaire class.

---

Ending partisan gerrymandering is a top priority. You show me a gerrymandered congressional district, and I will show you a community of color that has been disenfranchised and silenced. These maps are drawn to dilute Black and brown voting power and protect politicians, not people. We must also pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act to restore federal oversight and stop discriminatory voting changes before they take effect.

---

Protecting veterans and military families is as personal as it gets. I got into this race because I watched Richard Hudson stand by while Donald Trump and Elon Musk gutted the VA through DOGE and pushed a bill that cut thousands of VA jobs. Just like thousands of veterans in this district, that my care in the community. If you represent Fort Bragg, you should be protecting veterans, their health care, and military families with every vote. Veterans are under attack from this administration, and im running to stop them.

If you represent Fort Bragg, you should be protecting veterans, their health care, and military families with every vote. Veterans are under attack from this administration, and im running to stop them.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Richard Ojeda (D)

I am passionate about protecting veterans and military families, especially here around Fort Bragg. After 24 years in uniform, defending the VA and ensuring veterans receive the care they earned is my duty. As the grandson of a Mexican immigrant, I also believe we must restore due process and fix an immigration system that has lost its moral compass. Masked agents disappearing people off the streets must end. And we need economic policies that benefit the working class, not the top 1% of the top 1%. It is time to take Congress back in defense of families like mine and families like yours.

What organizations or individuals have endorsed your campaign?

Richard Ojeda (D)

We are proudly endorsed by the North Carolina AFL-CIO, CWA, the North Carolina Progressive Caucus, Turn Left PAC, and multiple community members and elected officials.

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 made North Carolina's 9th the 156th most Republican district nationally.

2020 presidential election results
