U.S. House runs
2018
Manning unsuccessfully ran for U.S. House of Representatives in the 2018 Midterm Elections, losing to incumbent Republican Ted Budd by six percentage points.[1]
2020
Following an upheld[2] court-mandated[3] redistricting of North Carolina's congressional districts in late 2019, the 6th district was moved from a Republican stronghold to a Democrat-favoring area.[4][5] Manning announced in early December 2020 her run for the seat,[6] and Republican representative Mark Walker of the district soon announced his retirement due to facing nearly no chances of re-elected,[7]
Manning won her party's primary,[8] and will face Republican Lee Haywood in the general election.[9] The vacated House seat is expected to be a mostly safe blue flip.[10][11][12]
