In the upcoming election for North Carolina's 11th Congressional District, the Democratic nominee, Caleb Rudow, and the Republican incumbent, Chuck Edwards, will face off. Edwards, 64, is the current U.S. Representative for the district and brings a background in business, accounting, and marketing, having studied at Blue Ridge Community College. His challenger, Rudow, is 35 years old and a current member of the North Carolina House of Representatives. Rudow completed his undergraduate studies at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
The United States House of Representatives is currently composed of 212 Democrats and 220 Republicans, with 3 vacancies. 82% of the district’s population is non-Hispanic white, while 8% is Hispanic. 4% of the population is black. The congressional map has been changed since the last cycle.
Historically, this district leaned Republican in both recent presidential and House elections. Donald Trump won the district in the 2020 Presidential election by a margin of 11%, while the 2022 House election also saw a Republican victory with a margin of over 9%. Given these results, the race is not considered competitive, and the outcome is largely anticipated to favor the Republican candidate once again.
