Iraq War Veteran Allison Jaslow Launches Bid to Unseat Rep. Greg Murphy in Redrawn NC-03

The Iraq War veteran is challenging a redrawn seat that remains a difficult Republican stronghold.

Overview

  • Allison Jaslow filed Thursday to run in North Carolina’s 3rd District, unveiling a campaign that emphasizes veterans and local representation.
  • She does not currently live in NC-03 but says she plans to move into the district.
  • Republican-led redistricting shifted a large eastern portion of NC-03 into NC-01, lifting NC-03’s Democratic share to 43% from 39% and reducing NC-01 to 44% from 48%, according to CBS analysis of 2024 data.
  • A panel of federal judges upheld the new congressional map last month, locking in the lines for the 2026 election.
  • Incumbent Greg Murphy is seeking reelection with President Trump’s endorsement in a district rated R+10 by Cook that Trump won by roughly 14 points in 2024.
