The North Carolina Republican Party selected state GOP Rep. Jennifer Balkcom to take Rep. Chuck Edwards‘s (R-NC) spot on the North Carolina 11th Congressional District ballot.

Edwards dropped out late in the campaign after allegations of sexual misconduct emerged, sending North Carolina Republicans scrambling to find a replacement. Army veteran Adam Smith and state Sen. Tim Moffitt, Balkcom’s own preference, dropped out of consideration over the weekend. Support ultimately unified behind Balkcom, and she was selected by the North Carolina Republican Party’s executive committee.
