Primary Candidate Drops Out

NCGOP Statement on the NC-13 Congressional Runoff

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Following the announcement from Kelly Daughtry suspending her campaign, the North Carolina Republican Party congratulates Brad Knott and thanks Kelly for a selfless decision to unite Republicans in the 13th District.

“Congratulations to Brad Knott! He will be an outstanding Congressman for the 13th Congressional District fighting to secure our Southern border and strengthen our economy,” said NCGOP Chairman Jason Simmons. “We look forward to working with Brad to ensure he is victorious in November.” 

A career prosecutor, Brad Knott saw first-hand the effects President Biden’s open border policies have had on illegal immigration, crime, drugs, and death. He is running to solve those problems, stand with law enforcement, and defend the constitutional rights of all Americans. 

In addition, Chairman Simmons shared the following statement about Kelly Daughtry. 

“Kelly has run a strong campaign rooted in her conservatism,” said Simmons. “Her decision is one that puts her values and her party above her own personal gain. Her continued involvement will ensure Republicans win up and down the ballot in November.” 

President Trump along with our strong lineup of Congressional candidates across our great state will work hard to win in November and go to Washington, D.C. to put families and America First!
