Democrats made gains in Western N.C. Now comes the hard part

While Western North Carolina saw more Democrats elected to the state House and Senate than the previous decade, most incumbent Republicans held onto their seats in the far west. After the Nov. 3 election, Democrats in Raleigh will now control the N.C. House of Representatives for the first time in 16 years after winning 71 of 120 seats, according to unofficial results . Democrat Lynne Russo won the 117th House district, which covers about half of Henderson County. Her victory marks the first time a Democrat has held the seat since 1959, according to her campaign, and she credits the victory to her focus on Hurricane Helene relief efforts – and the region’s frustration with inadequate funding.
