Greensboro, N.C. — With just 35 days until Election Day, Kathy Manning continues to build momentum for her campaign for North Carolina’s 13th District. Last week, The Cook Political Report upgraded the race to a “Toss Up” following Nate Silver’s FiveThirtyEight also listing the race as a “Toss Up.” Kathy Manning spent last week campaigning across the district to hear from voters, share her vision, and earn the support of North Carolina voters.

“Our citizens deserve an open, accessible Representative in Congress who will always put the best interests of North Carolina families first,” said Kathy Manning. “Unfortunately, we don’t have that in Congressman Budd. From refusing to hold town hall meetings, hiring lobbyists to run his office, and taking hundreds of thousands of dollars in campaign donations from corporate special interests — then voting their way, it’s clear who comes first for our current Congressman. As your Representative, I’ll always put country over party, bring people together, and get things done for North Carolina.”

Since starting her campaign in December 2017, Kathy has traveled over 8,000 miles across North Carolina’s 13th District. She has hosted or attended over 350 events, including town hall meetings, “Coffees with Kathy,” and neighborhood house parties, where she meets directly with voters to hear about the issues that concern them the most.
