Democratic NC candidate previously dropped by party narrowly leads incumbent

A Democratic candidate who lost her party’s support over controversial social media posts held a narrow lead over the Republican incumbent for a seat in North Carolina’s House of Representatives.

The difference between the two candidates is narrow enough for a recount. Blust has served one term as a state senator and another 10 as a state representative. He campaigned on lowering property taxes and energy costs and increasing employment. Headen manages a retail garage door business alongside her husband. She advocated for investing in public schools and expanding affordable housing and healthcare.
