Millions fuel NC-1 clash as Republicans and Democrats fight for US House majority

North Carolina's 1st Congressional District is one of 15 toss-up districts across America that could determine control of the next US House of Representatives. […]
Laurie Buckhout, the Republican candidate, and US Rep. Don Davis, the Democratic incumbent, both have a chance to win the district, which spans the northeastern part of the state from Wayne to Currituck counties. […]
According to InsideElections data, Davis is in the second-most vulnerable Democratic House seat in the country. As such, Buckhout affiliates have invested millions in securing a Republican win. […]

The Buckhout campaign says hundreds of volunteers are out in the district knocking on doors, meeting voters, and making the case for sending Buckhout to Congress. Grassroots captains across the district work with staff to help recruit, organize, and deploy volunteers in their communities. […]
The Davis campaign did not respond to requests for comment for this story. […]
