In North Carolina's 2nd Congressional District, there are two conservatives (although at different levels of their commitment to conservatism) and one leftist liberal running for Congress. Rep. George Holding, the congressman from the 13th Congressional district, has been placed in the 2nd district due to redistricting but he has represented the majority of what is now the 2nd district since he has been in Congress. Rep. Holding holds a strong 87% on LLPH-CR's scorecard, making him a valuable conservative ally. Dr. Greg Brannon is a liberty conservative, who is known for his commitment to the Constitution. Should he be elected, he would likely improve the representation in this district dramatically. Both men are good conservatives, and LLPH-CR has decided to leave it to the people to pick who would be a better leader.
However, we are coming out to strongly oppose the re-election of Rep. Renee Ellmers, the current 2nd district representative. She holds a pathetic 31% (F) on LLPH-CR's scorecard, making her one of the worst representatives in the Congress. Consider this: the 2nd district is an R+10 district, making it a Republican stronghold. Rep. Jim Cooper, a DEMOCRAT, holds a D+5 district in Tennessee, yet he has a 52% (D). The 2nd district can and must do better than to send Rep. Ellmers, who performs worst than a Democrat, back to represent a Republican district.
Rep. Ellmers has consistently voted against Penny Plan spending cuts, which would save 1 cent out of every dollar. She has supported most bloated budgets and spending bills, fought for the renewal of the Export-Import Bank, even being one of the few Republicans to give up our Republican majority by voting to discharge the Export-Import Bank's reauthorization bill to the House floor. Rep. Ellmers fought against pro-life legislation in 2015 by attempting to weaken the language, leaving many babies to die. She is a terrible disgrace. That is why social conservatives from the Susan B. Anthony List (a pro-life women's group) and the National Right to Life Organization to fiscal conservatives like Freedomworks, the Club for Growth, and Americans for Prosperity have ALL banded together to work to fire Rep. Ellmers.
On June 7, 2016, conservatives in North Carolina should wisely and strategically work to fire Rep. Ellmers. Rep. Holding or Dr. Brannon will serve this district well, while Rep. Ellmers will continue her promotion of liberal principles. If she were an honest person, she would join the Democrat Party and declare herself a Democrat. But alas, she is a big government politician who must be defeated.
