Business and community leader Kathy Manning will officially file for North Carolina’s 13th Congressional District today with a few dozen of her closet friends, family, and supporters.

“I’ve lived in Greensboro for over 30 years and have spent the last several months traveling across our community listening to the concerns of people living in the 13th District. Our community deserves bold leadership in Congress — not someone like Ted Budd, who is bought and paid for by special interests and only comes around in our community when there’s an election soon,” said Kathy Manning. “We need better paying jobs, more affordable healthcare, and increased access to quality education to ensure our children are ready for the jobs of tomorrow. I’ve spent my career bringing people together to solve tough problems — it’s time for Congress to do the same.”
