Former Republican North Carolina Congressman is running for North Carolina’s 6th Congressional district, currently held by Democrat incumbent Kathy Manning.
EXCLUSIVE—Former Republican North Carolina Congressman Mark Walker is dropping out of the Tar Heel state’s gubernatorial race and is launching his bid for North Carolina’s 6th Congressional district. 'As much as we would like to be the ambassador of the state and the chief executive, we feel almost like that our skill set, our experience, our background is needed here in the United States Congress,' Walker tells Fox News Digital.
Walker, a pastor from Greensboro and owner of a business consulting firm, rose the ranks in Congress from 2024-2021, leading the Republican Study Committee and becoming the vice chair for the House Republican Conference. Once floated as a potential successor to Speaker Paul Ryan, Walker lost his political footing after redistricting eliminated his GOP-leaning House seat in 2020. Then, the former congressman finished third in the 2022 Republican U.S. Senate primary to current Senator Ted Budd.
