WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S. Representatives Alma Adams (NC-12), David E. Price (NC-04), G. K. Butterfield (NC-01), Deborah Ross (NC-02), and Kathy Manning (NC-06), the Democratic members of North Carolina's congressional delegation, issued a joint statement supporting the Supreme Court of the State of North Carolina's decision to delay the 2022 Primary Election to May 17 and stay candidate filing to a later date:
"North Carolinians deserve fair maps and fair elections, so we strongly support the decision of the state Supreme Court to delay the 2022 Primary Election.
