The only elected Republican legislator from North Carolina's largest county is running for a congressional seat currently held by a first-term Democrat who narrowly won in 2022. Rep. Erin Paré of Wake County announced her plans on Wednesday to seek to represent what is now the 13th Congressional District, which includes portions of Raleigh and fast-growing communities to the south and east. Republicans in charge of the General Assembly plan this fall to redraw congressional districts in light of court decisions for the 2024 elections.
