District 1 spans across Wilson, Greenville, and Elizabeth City.
For years, voters in the area have voted for the Democratic nominee; the last time a Republican held the District 1 seat was in 1883.
With G.K. Butterfield’s retirement, the seat will be up for grabs for the first time since 2004.
On Smith’s website, she said she is Pro-Life, Pro-Guns, and Pro-Military.
In September, Sandy Smith received an endorsement from Former President Donald Trump.
Smith gathered with friends and supporters to watch the results, as she hopes for a big win.
