NORTH CAROLINA — A Republican candidate for North Carolina governor is dropping out to run for Congress.
Mark Walker says he will now seek a seat in the 6th Congressional District instead of the governor’s mansion.
Walker previously served in Congress for six years.
The new 6th District stretches from Kannapolis to Guilford County.
