George Holding Biography

George Holding is one of the most popular and richest Politician who was born on April 17, 1968 in Raleigh, North Carolina, United States. George Edward Bell Holding (born 17 April 1968) is an American politician and politician. He serves as currently the United States Representative for North Carolina’s 2nd congressional district. He was previously a member of in the 13th District from 2013 to 2017. Holding is an active participant in the Republican Party. His district extends from the southwest of Raleigh to the west from Rocky Mount. He was an attorney for the United States Attorney for North Carolina’s Eastern District from 2006 to the year 2011.

In the time of Holding’s appointment as U.S. Attorney, former North Carolina Governor Mike Easley admitted guilt to an felony in the field of campaign finance that was the result of a long federal investigation. Holding directed the prosecution of former U.S. Senator John Edwards on campaign-finance charges In the year 2012 Edwards got acquitted of one charge, while the jury was deadlocked on the other five charges. In the end, however, the Justice Department decided not to try Edwards for the counts the jury could not agree on.

Even before the new map was issued, state and national Democrats viewed the 2nd as a potential pickup opportunity for Democrats. Three Democrats sought the congressional nomination. Soon after the new map was issued, former state representative and unsuccessful 2016 Senate candidate Deborah Ross entered the race for the redrawn 2nd. In December 2019, Holding announced he would retire at the end of his term, saying that the new map was a factor in his decision.

After a North Carolina state judge issued a preliminary injunction forbidding the use of the 2016 congressional map for the 2020 elections, the state legislature drew a new map. Holding’s district was made significantly more Democratic than its predecessor. The old 2nd had covered most of northern and southern Wake County, as well as exurban areas south and east of the capital. The new 2nd was a compact district in southern Wake County, including almost all of Raleigh. Had it existed in 2016, Hillary Clinton would have carried it with 60 percent of the vote; by comparison, Donald Trump had carried the old 2nd with 53 percent of the vote. On paper, the new map turned the 2nd from a Republican-leaning district into one of the most Democratic white-majority districts in the South.

Following the resignation of his position in the role of U.S. Attorney in 2011, Holding announced his candidacy for Congress in the 13th congressional district of North Carolina. He was endorsed by a variety of prominent conservative civic and business leaders such as N.C. Supreme Court Chief Justice I. Beverly Lake and former U.S. Senate President Lauch Faircloth.
