U.S. Representative Patrick McHenry (R-NC) today endorsed Congresswoman Virginia Foxx (R-NC) for re-election to the United States House of Representatives in North Carolina’s newly re-drawn 5th Congressional District in 2020.
“Virginia Foxx fights hard for her constituents and for our state, and I am very pleased that she is running for re-election in the re-drawn 5th Congressional District. I give her my whole-hearted endorsement because I know that she will continue to work tirelessly for the conservative solutions that she has always embraced on behalf of North Carolina,” McHenry said.
“While I will miss representing the communities that were shifted into the 5th District when the new congressional map was drawn, I can’t think of anyone better to serve these amazing communities than Virginia Foxx. She understands North Carolina and has a powerful track-record of listening to her constituents and fighting to solve the problems they face.”
“I’m honored to receive Congressman McHenry’s endorsement in the re-drawn 5th Congressional District,” Foxx said. “Congressman McHenry has served much of the area that was added to the 5th Congressional District for many years now and is a trusted, conservative voice in these wonderful communities. I am looking forward to earning the votes of his constituents in the upcoming March primary and in the November 2020 election.”
Congressman Patrick McHenry has represented the 10th Congressional District since 2005. In 2019, the North Carolina legislature approved new congressional boundaries that placed portions of the current 10th Congressional District into the 5th Congressional District. Congresswoman Foxx currently represents the 5th Congressional District.
