Dan Bishop just finished his second term in Washington representing North Carolina’s 9th District. However, with the newly drawn constituency map, he faces a new challenger in the 8th district.
“District 8 was changed by the courts this year. That’s only three of the eight counties I previously represented, plus five new counties.So I went through that process again. I do enjoy it, but it takes a lot of energy and a lot of time,” Bishop said.
“I live in the district, I grew up in the district, I know the district. Dan Bishop doesn’t live in the district. I’m going to vote either way. I can vote for me,” Huffman said.
WXII asked each candidate what voters should know about them. Here are their answers:
“I’m going to follow through. I’m definitely going to be conservative with the people who send me out there to represent my values. I will protect them and protect them,” said the bishop.
“When someone walks into my precinct office, I’m not going to ask them if they’re Republicans, independents, or Democrats. I’m like, ‘How can I help you?’ ‘I’m going to ask,’ said Huffman.
On the issue, Bishop said Democrats’ spending in Congress is causing inflation and economic pain for North Carolinians.
“If someone is buying a gas diet, if someone is buying a mortgage, all those people are suffering catastrophic changes as a result of cost of living and inflation. It’s the result,” said Bishop.
Huffman works in the IT department and says one of his priorities is improving broadband access within the district.
“This has several effects. First, it connects everyone to the global network of banks and healthcare. Second, it attracts new business,” Huffman said. increase.
Candidates vary in access to abortion.
When asked if there was a time when he thought abortion should not be legal, Huffman “No one regulates my body as a man. No one regulates my sperm. I need to sit here and regulate what happens to a woman and her body.” I don’t mean to say that. It goes against the very basics of our country.”
“The right way forward is for state legislatures to have a period of time to address this issue. But ultimately, it is the responsibility of the U.S. government to protect the most basic freedoms, and that is life.” said the bishop.
On gun ownership, Huffman said he supports background checks and waiting periods and supports President Biden’s plan to ban assault weapons.
“You hear the old saying, ‘Democrats will take your guns,’ and it’s not far from the truth. I support your right to bear a weapon. I support your right to bear a gun. I stand by my rights.” Huffman said.
Bishop said he is already against gun ownership restrictions in Washington.
“Firearms in common use across America, they want to ban them, and I call them out.” said the bishop.
Both candidates said there is room for funding mental health professionals and others to reduce the burden on police officers.
“To do that, we need more funding for the police. I think this will make the police stronger, and it will solve two things: first, bring them back into the community. The other is to re-establish relationships with the police, they have relationships with other services.” Huffman said.
“Democratic politicians responded hostile to law enforcement. It’s the craziest, stupidest political ploy I’ve ever seen in my life. And the result was chaos.” said the bishop.
In 2020, Bishop won re-election with 55{ea2cba5bdf6fe62bbe85e24807814144a71e77d3ae7311fbc27a008558d1372c} of the vote, but Huffman lost to Congressman Ted Budd.
