Our current congressman is Rep. Madison Cawthorn (R-NC) who is the youngest member of Congress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cawthorn is facing a stiff challenge in the Republican primary for a number of reasons. These include a poor voting record, doing dumb shit like trying to take a firearm on an airplane (twice), driving on a suspended license while speeding, lots of embarrassing videos coming to light, and crappy constituent service. Topping this all off is that before the Democrat-controlled NC Supreme Court threw out the General Assembly&#8217;s redistricting plan, Cawthorn had planned to ditch the 11th District for a new, more heavily Republican district, closer to Charlotte. The rationale was that he would gain more media attention from the Charlotte media than he could from the local Asheville media outlets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I got an email today from Cawthorn trying to raise money. Here is how it concluded:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><em>I\u2019ll be traveling across my district here in North Carolina and hope to have your support as I make this critical push to stay in the race!<\/em><br><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><em>Thanks,\u00a0\u00a0<br>Madison Cawthorn<br>Congressman, NC-14<\/em><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I don&#8217;t know about you but I prefer a congressional representative who remembers what district he or she actually represents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As an aside, Cawthorn still got the NRA-PVF endorsement given their pro-incumbent bias. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.grnc.org\/remember-in-november\/2022-grnc-candidate-recommendations\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Grass Roots North Carolina-PVF<\/a><\/strong> however has recommended St. Sen.
