A few days ago, James Allen announced on his Facebook page:

“After numerous request from the people, and republicans in the state, I have decided it is in the best interest of our Country and our party to run for US Congress in the fourth district NC. I am very familiar with the district as I worked throughout the area for twenty years, I know so many people and have shared in their hopes and dreams. We are running to win and hope to have an additional House seat for our conservative values. The seat although with vast changes to its area has been filled by a liberal spending democrat for some time. Please support us as we take this seat back to and for the people. Jim”

Today, Bill Flynn announced his candidacy for the Sixth district GOP nomination at a press conference  in Greensboro. More details to come!!
