GREENVILLE, N.C. (WNCT) — Super Tuesday is officially over. There’s now a new battle for the 1st Congressional District in North Carolina.

Laurie Buckhout beat Sandy Smith in the Republican primary and will take on incumbent Congressman Don Davis, a Democrat, in November.

“We have all of the ingredients in the first district for a very exciting and close U.S. House race,” said Dr. Peter Francia, an ECU political science professor. “Laurie Buckhout brings a lot of strengths given her background in the military and success as a businesswoman. But Don Davis is the incumbent, and incumbents are very difficult to beat when they run for re-election.”
