Meet Democrat Chuck Hubbard, who leads Virginia Foxx after NC election

A longtime journalist from northwestern North Carolina is on the verge of unseating one of the state’s most powerful Republican members of Congress. Chuck Hubbard, 64, leads Rep. Virginia Foxx by 99 votes in the 5th Congressional District, according to unofficial returns — close enough to trigger a possible recount. Here are key takeaways: Hubbard is a lifelong resident of the 5th District whose grandfather founded the Wilkes Journal-Patriot, where Hubbard started working at age 8 inserting sections and helping with the mailing. He attends North Wilkesboro Presbyterian Church, serves on the boards of Wilkes Recovery Revolution, the Wilkes Child Abuse Prevention Team and the Wilkes Prison Ministry, and is married to Shari, a former state trooper. The couple has three daughters and two grandchildren. With all precincts reporting, Hubbard led Foxx 48.7% to 48.66% in the 5th Congressional District. Foxx, 83, a Republican from Banner Elk, currently chairs the powerful House Committee on Rules and has served in Congress since 2004 after a decade in the state Senate. Hubbard ran unsuccessfully against her in 2022 and 2024 before this third try. On a candidate questionnaire, Hubbard identified rising costs and inflation as the top issue, calling for an end
