Trump puts Bishop over the top Driggs defeats Nwasike in Republican primary by Justin Vick justin@cmgweekly.com
CHARLOTTE – The White House helped give N.C. Sen. Dan Bishop an edge over Democratic challenger Dan McCready in the race for the Ninth District House of Representatives seat. Bishop finished with 3,937 more votes than McCready in the Sept. 10 special election, according to unofficial results. President Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence campaigned on Bishop's behalf
throughout the Ninth District on Sept. 9. Trump spoke in Fayetteville, while Pence campaigned in Charlotte, Marshville and Wingate, among other stops. Trump tweeted support for Bishop a few times on Election Day, urging North Carolinians to vote for the Republican. “Dan Bishop was down 17 points 3 weeks ago,” Trump tweeted before all the precincts were in. “He then asked me for help, we changed his strategy together, and he ran a great race.” Trump also criticized CNN and MSNBC
for barely talking about the District 9 race as it looked like Bishop was going to win. Bishop had 96,081 votes (50.74%), followed by McCready's 92,144 (48.66%), Libertarian Jeff Scott's 767 (0.41%) and Green Party Allen Smith's 371 (0.20%). McCready had 7,084 more absentee one-stop votes and 289 mail-in votes than Bishop heading into Sept. 10. Bishop supporters made up that deficit and then some. Bishop had 11,310 more votes than McCready on Election Day. Bishop thanked Trump, Pence and other see TRUMP, Page 2A

WHAT'S INSIDE
CHARLOTTE – All eyes were on North Carolina as the Ninth District voted for its congressional representative in the Sept. 10 special election. Polls opened at 6:30 a.m. with voters and canvassers hoping to make an impact on the state’s future in Congress. While voters only see the majority of canvassers outside of their polling place, many of them have been campaigning for months leading up to the election. “This election is going to come down to just a handful of votes,” voluntseer Rachelle Salo said. “And every vote matters.” While Salo was canvassing for a candidate in Charlotte’s primary election, she said her special election vote would go toward Democratic candidate Dan McCready.

Jewish teens rally after anti-Semitic note by Kayla Berenson kayla@cmgweekly.com

CHARLOTTE – One day after an anti-Semitic note was found in a backpack at Providence High School, a group of Jewish teenagers from high schools in Charlotte met for their weekly meeting. Providence High School junior Avery Rosen is the president of the group. She told members it is essential to report acts of anti-Semitism to their schools and reassured them the community is here for them. Rosen said a large group of Jewish students at Providence High School proudly wore their youth group shirts and Star of David necklaces as a sym-
bol of unity and support. “I knew that I had to wear my shirt,” Rosen said. “Not really for me, but for whoever received that terrible and hateful note. I wanted her to know that she had a whole community of people here at school supporting her… It was reassuring to walk around and see the Jewish community standing strong in the face of adversity.” Rosen said before these events happened, she didn’t realize how necessary it was to report these incidents. “I told [my mom] that honestly, this wasn’t surprising,” Rosen said. “People say this stuff to me all the time. Not threatening, but anti-Semitic jokes, Holocaust jokes and anti-Semitic com-
ments. My mom got really upset … it just made me really upset thinking about the impact my actions could have and how people could have so much hate toward anyone, but especially Jews and the Jewish community, which, I feel, is my home in Charlotte.” Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools did not state whether Providence High School is providing support for students affected. However, Rosen said she has felt supported by her non-Jewish peers. “They’re always understanding and around to talk,” Rosen said. “[But] it’s sometimes hard to

Charlotte City Council incumbents Ed Driggs, Matt Newton and Larken Egleston not only won their primaries, but they won't face opponents in the November election. Driggs, a Republican representing the Ballantyne area on the council, defeated challenger Victoria Nwasike by 4,371 votes. On paper, Nwasike figured to be Driggs' toughest opponent to date, considering her leadership roles with the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Planning Board and the Ballantyne Breakfast Club. Victoria Watlington beat out two other Democrats to win the District 3 primary; she'll have no opponents in November. The election also chiseled other races. Charlotte City Council At-Large incumbents Braxton Winston, James Mitchell, Dimple Ajmera and Julie Eiselt won their primary to take on Republican Joshua Richardson. Democrat challenger Malcolm Graham won his primary to take on Republican challenger Jacob Robinson for the District 2 seat. Mayor Vi Lyles will take on Republican challenger David Michael Rice.

supporters during his victory speech at W.H. Harris Lighting Company in Monroe. “The White House leadership and all our Republican and conservative partners who were there for us every step of the way because they all understood what was at stake in this election,” Bishop said. “I told President Trump we weren’t tired of winning … are we tired of winning y’all? We’re not tired of winning...we’re just getting started because we are seeing the successful results of the President’s agenda.” Bishop said the election result sent the message that voters said “no to the radical liberal policies being pushed by the Democrat Party.” The Ninth District spans 210 districts across eight counties, including Mecklenburg and Union. Union County was key to Bishop's campaign, as he had 12,414 more votes than
McCready. Bishop had more votes than McCready in 43 of Union County's 52 precincts. McCready led all Charlotte precincts with the exception of the one that voted at The Church of Jesus Christ Latter Day Saints on Carmel Road. Bishop led precincts in the Matthews and Mint Hill area.

Jones enshrined in HOF SPRINGFIELD, Mass. – Dr. Julius Erving and Charles Barkley presented Charlotte native Bobby Jones into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame on Sept. 6. During his ABA and NBA career, Jones made the All Defensive Team 10 times, as well as earned Sixth Man of the Year and an NBA title with the Philadelphia 76ers. Prior to the NBA, Jones attended South Mecklenburg High School. After the NBA, he coached boys basketball and served as athletics director at Charlotte Christian School.
understood the importance of the election. “There’s been a lot of interest for this campaign and the value it’s going to add to Congress and our country,” Susan Austin said. Winston-Salem resident Joan Fleming drove to Charlotte at 4 a.m. to show her support and volunteer for Bishop at William R. Davie Park. “I want to win this state back red,” Fleming said. At the same polling location, canvasser Debra Wallace hoped to see a blue future for North Carolina. “I have lots of problems with Dan Bishop and his history and what he has done to damage our state,” Wallace said. “I think McCready is the person to help us move forward.” McCready and Bishop greeted voters and canvassers across the district, including In-
dian Trail and Monroe. By the time Bishop arrived at Hemby Bridge Elementary School six hours before the polls closed, he said he felt confident about the election’s outcome, especially after President Donald Trump’s rally the night before. “The President and the Vice President being in the district for us yesterday, and just that experience of Mike Pence traveling with us across the district… and the President of the United States packing an auditorium in Fayetteville for us is a tremendous experience,” Bishop said. “I think it puts us over the top.” Bishop also said he could see a clear surge in the number of his supporters. “We started off just six months ago in a race in which our opponent’s been in for two years,” Bishop said. Trump endorsed Bishop heavily on Twitter in the days leading up to the election. Democratic presidential hopefuls Beto O’Rourke and Elizabeth Warren also took to Twitter to endorse Dan McCready.
