Rep. Kathy Manning Won't Seek Re-election, Cites Gerrymandering

Pending lawsuits challenge new district maps that could strengthen Republican majority in the House.

Democratic Representative Kathy Manning of North Carolina's 6th Congressional District announced she will not seek re-election in 2024, citing 'egregiously gerrymandered' district maps.
Manning accused the Republican-led state legislature of manipulating district boundaries to favor their party, specifically mentioning the division of Greensboro, a Democratic stronghold.
Manning stated she would reconsider her decision if pending lawsuits against the new district maps are successful.
The new maps could potentially allow Republicans to gain three additional seats in North Carolina, strengthening their majority in the House of Representatives.
A lawsuit has been filed arguing that the new maps weaken minority voting power and violate the U.S. Constitution.
