U.S. House
Heading into the election, Ballotpedia rated this race as safely Republican. Ted Budd (R) defeated Bruce Davis (D) in the general election on November 8, 2016. In the Democratic primary, Bruce Davis defeated Adam Coker, Bob Isner, Kevin Griffin, and Mazie Ferguson. Budd defeated 16 other Republican candidates to win the Republican nomination.
Incumbent George Holding (R) of District 13 sought re-election for the District 2 seat in 2016. He defeated fellow Republican incumbent Renee Ellmers and Greg Brannon in the primary.[3] Holding's change of plans came after redistricting in North Carolina in February 2016 substantially changed the constituency of both districts. Holding's decision to run in District 2 essentially made District 13 an open seat, and as a result, 22 candidates filed to run for the seat. [4][5][6][1][7][3]
