North Carolina state Rep. Tricia Cotham, who represents Mecklenburg County, attends the first day of a new legislative session on Wednesday, Jan. 11, 2023. She emerged as one of the biggest winners of redistricting. The former Democrat who switched parties in April to give Republicans a supermajority moves from a safe Democratic seat to a tossup.

Don Davis’ tossup race in eastern North Carolina, Republicans stand to have a 10-4 or 11-3 advantage in the U.S. House.
