The Libertarian primary scheduled for March 3, 2026 was canceled, and Bailey advances directly to the ballot alongside Democratic incumbent Don Davis and Republican Laurie Buckhout [1].\n\n## Background\n\nBailey served in the U.S. Army from 1968 to 1971. He earned his high school diploma from South Bakersfield High School and graduated from the University of North Carolina at Wilmington in 1993 [1]. His career experience includes work as a contractor; he is now retired [1].\n\n## Career\n\nBailey has been active for years in North Carolina Libertarian Party politics. Per his own 2026 Ballotpedia Candidate Connection survey response, he has served as a member of the Libertarian Party of North Carolina's Executive Committee and as chairman of its Legal Action Committee, in which capacity he says he helped lead the federal ballot-access lawsuit McLoughlin v. Marsh [1].\n\n## Office history\n\nIn the 2024 general election for the same seat, Bailey received 2.6% of the vote (9,949 votes), behind Democratic winner Don Davis and Republican Laurie Buckhout [1]. As of an April 25, 2026 filing, he reported no campaign contributions or expenditures and a cash-on-hand balance of $0 [1].\n\n## Sources\n[1] [Tom Bailey (North Carolina) - Ballotpedia](https://ballotpedia.org/Tom_Bailey_(North_Carolina)), accessed 2026-07-20","firstname":"Thomas","lastname":"Bailey","middlename":"Aaron","suffix":null,"token":"75654a5eaef92564"},"token":"77ZNTI0QNY"},{"candidatename":"Don Davis","chatgptsummary":null,"notes":null,"party":"DEM","person":{"biography":"## Current office and 2026 campaign\n\nDonald Gene Davis, who serves as Don Davis, is the Democratic U.S. Representative for North Carolina's 1st Congressional District [4][5]. The Clerk of the House records him as elected on November 5, 2024 and sworn in on January 3, 2025, with a Snow Hill hometown and an office at 1123 Longworth House Office Building [5]. His official biography says he is serving his second term and that the district comprises 22 counties in eastern North Carolina [1].\n\nThe North Carolina State Board of Elections candidate-filing list shows Davis on the November 3, 2026 general-election ballot against Republican Laurie Buckhout and Libertarian Tom Bailey [12]. Buckhout, who was also the Republican nominee in 2024, won the March 3, 2026 Republican primary with 26,624 votes to Asa Buck's 23,227, Bobby Hanig's 10,924, Eric Rouse's 3,626 and Ashley-Nicole Russell's 2,975 [11].\n\nThe 2026 election is being conducted under the congressional plan the North Carolina General Assembly enacted on October 22, 2025 as Senate Bill 249 / Session Law 2025-95, \"Realign Congressional Districts 2025\" [17], which the General Assembly's redistricting site identifies as \"Enacted in 2025, to be used for the 2026 election\" [18]. NC Newsline reported that on November 26, 2025 a three-judge federal panel declined to block the map for the 2026 midterms in a suit brought by the North Carolina NAACP, Common Cause of North Carolina and a group of voters, who argued that changes to the 1st District dismantled the region known as the Black Belt; the panel found that the plaintiffs \"have shown a disparate impact on black voters\" but \"have not demonstrated that this effect likely reflects discriminatory intent,\" and the lawsuit continues [19]. The same report said the new map is expected to eliminate Davis's seat and produce an 11-3 Republican majority in the state's delegation [19].\n\nFederal Election Commission candidate summary data covering the 2026 cycle through June 30, 2026 report $4,287,386 in total receipts, $987,862 in total disbursements, and $3,570,366 in cash on hand for his authorized campaign committees [13].\n\n## Background and education\n\nThe Biographical Directory of the U.S. Congress records that Davis was born in Snow Hill, Greene County, North Carolina, on August 29, 1971; graduated from MacArthur High School in Irving, Texas, in 1989; earned a B.S. from the United States Air Force Academy in 1994, an M.S. from Central Michigan University in 1997, an M.A. from East Carolina University in 2001, and an Ed.D. from East Carolina University in 2007 [4]. His official biography describes the Central Michigan degree as a master's in administration, the East Carolina master's as sociology with a concentration in regional development, and the doctorate as a degree in education [1].\n\n## Career\n\nThe Biographical Directory records service in the United States Air Force from 1994 to 2001 [4]. His official biography says he was commissioned after graduating from the Air Force Academy, actively served in uniform for eight years, and, as a first lieutenant, coordinated Air Force One and CODEL operations at Andrews Air Force Base and supported families of military members as a mortuary officer [1].\n\nThe Biographical Directory lists him as an assistant professor at East Carolina University from 1998 to 2001 and an adjunct professor there from 2001 to 2007, and as a lay minister [4]. His official biography says he returned to eastern North Carolina as an assistant professor of Aerospace Studies at the university's Air Force ROTC Detachment 600, teaching national security affairs, military history and leadership courses, and describes him as an educator for more than 20 years who still ministers at the church he attended growing up [1].\n\n## Office history\n\nDavis was Mayor of Snow Hill from 2001 to 2008 [4]. His official biography says he became the town's youngest mayor at age 29 and served seven years [1].\n\nHe served in the North Carolina Senate from 2009 to 2011 and again from 2013 to 2022 [4]. State Board of Elections certified precinct results record him losing the 2010 general election for Senate District 5 to Republican Louis M. Pate, Jr., 25,423 votes to 21,096 [6]; returning as the District 5 winner in 2012 with 59,648 votes [7]; and winning the seat again in 2020 with 51,702 votes to Republican Karen Kozel's 42,104 [8].\n\nHe was elected to the U.S. House in 2022 and took office on January 3, 2023 [4]. Certified results for that race record 134,996 votes for Davis and 122,780 for Republican Sandy Smith, roughly 52 percent [9]. The seat had been held by Democrat G. K. Butterfield, who won North Carolina's 1st District in 2020 with 188,870 votes to Smith's 159,748 [8]. In 2024 Davis was re-elected with 186,341 votes to Laurie Buckhout's 180,034 and Libertarian Tom Bailey's 9,949, roughly 50 percent [10].\n\n## Legislative record and accomplishments\n\nDavis's official committees page lists him on the House Agriculture Committee, where he is Ranking Member of the Subcommittee on Commodity Markets, Digital Assets, and Rural Development and a member of the Subcommittees on General Farm Commodities, Risk Management, and Credit and on Livestock, Dairy, and Poultry; and on the House Armed Services Committee, where he is Vice Ranking Member and sits on the Subcommittees on Readiness and on Tactical Air and Land Forces [2]. The Clerk of the House's member data for the 119th Congress records the same two full-committee assignments [5]. His committees page also lists him as co-chair of the For Country Caucus and several other caucuses and as a member of the Congressional Black Caucus, the New Democrat Coalition and the Problem Solvers Caucus [2].\n\nHouse Clerk roll-call records show that on April 30, 2026 the House passed H.R. 7567, the Farm, Food, and National Security Act of 2026, by 224 to 200, with 14 Democrats voting yes; Davis was one of them [14]. His office says the bill folded in six bills he introduced plus an amendment and more than 25 measures he supported, including provisions from the Promoting Precision Agriculture Act (H.R. 1985); the Flooding Prevention, Assessment, and Restoration Act (H.R. 1858); the Cybersecurity for Rural Water Systems Act (H.R. 2109); the Rural Uplift and Revitalization Assistance Act (H.R. 6433); the Assistance for Rural Water Systems Act (H.R. 7530); and the AG VETS Act (H.R. 1230) [15]. As subcommittee ranking member he had voted to report the bill favorably out of the Agriculture Committee on March 5, 2026 [20].\n\nHis office says the House passed H.R. 4238, the Disaster Loan Accountability and Reform Act, on June 26, 2026; Davis led the bill with Representative Tim Moore (NC-14), and his office says it responds to a 66-day lapse in the Small Business Administration's disaster loan fund that delayed Hurricane Helene recovery assistance [16]. His office also says he sponsored 31 provisions that advanced through House passage of H.R. 8800, the Fiscal Year 2027 National Defense Authorization Act, which it says passed 216 to 212 [21].\n\nHis official House website displays the claim \"#1 Most Bipartisan Member of Congress,\" alongside constituent-service counters reporting $4,237,916 returned to constituents and 1,760 cases closed [3].\n\n## Sources\n\n[1] [About - Representative Don Davis](https://dondavis.house.gov/about) - U.S. House of Representatives, accessed 2026-07-30\n[2] [Committees and Caucuses - Representative Don Davis](https://dondavis.house.gov/about/committees-and-caucuses) - U.S. House of Representatives, accessed 2026-07-30\n[3] [Home - Representative Don Davis](https://dondavis.house.gov/) - U.S. House of Representatives, accessed 2026-07-30\n[4] [DAVIS, Don](https://history.house.gov/People/Listing/D/DAVIS,-Don-%28D000230%29/) - U.S. House of Representatives History, Art & Archives (Biographical Directory of the U.S. Congress), accessed 2026-07-30\n[5] [Member Data, 119th Congress](https://clerk.house.gov/xml/lists/MemberData.xml) - Office of the Clerk, U.S. House of Representatives, accessed 2026-07-30\n[6] [Precinct-level results, November 2, 2010 general election](https://dl.ncsbe.gov/ENRS/2010_11_02/results_pct_20101102.zip) - North Carolina State Board of Elections, accessed 2026-07-30\n[7] [Precinct-level results, November 6, 2012 general election](https://dl.ncsbe.gov/ENRS/2012_11_06/results_pct_20121106.zip) - North Carolina State Board of Elections, accessed 2026-07-30\n[8] [Precinct-level results, November 3, 2020 general election](https://dl.ncsbe.gov/ENRS/2020_11_03/results_pct_20201103.zip) - North Carolina State Board of Elections, accessed 2026-07-30\n[9] [Precinct-level results, November 8, 2022 general election](https://dl.ncsbe.gov/ENRS/2022_11_08/results_pct_20221108.zip) - North Carolina State Board of Elections, accessed 2026-07-30\n[10] [Precinct-level results, November 5, 2024 general election](https://dl.ncsbe.gov/ENRS/2024_11_05/results_pct_20241105.zip) - North Carolina State Board of Elections, accessed 2026-07-30\n[11] [Precinct-level results, March 3, 2026 primary election](https://dl.ncsbe.gov/ENRS/2026_03_03/results_pct_20260303.zip) - North Carolina State Board of Elections, accessed 2026-07-30\n[12] [2026 Candidate Listing](https://s3.amazonaws.com/dl.ncsbe.gov/Elections/2026/Candidate%20Filing/Candidate_Listing_2026.csv) - North Carolina State Board of Elections, accessed 2026-07-30\n[13] [All-candidate summary bulk data, 2026 cycle](https://www.fec.gov/files/bulk-downloads/2026/weball26.zip) - Federal Election Commission, accessed 2026-07-30\n[14] [Roll Call 154, 119th Congress, 2nd Session - H.R. 7567](https://clerk.house.gov/evs/2026/roll154.xml) - Office of the Clerk, U.S. House of Representatives, accessed 2026-07-30\n[15] [Congressman Don Davis Votes to Advance Bipartisan Farm Bill for Eastern North Carolina](https://dondavis.house.gov/media/press-releases/congressman-don-davis-votes-advance-bipartisan-farm-bill-eastern-north) - Office of Rep.

She filed on December 19, 2025, listing Edenton, North Carolina as her residence [1]. She won the March 3, 2026 Republican primary with 26,624 of 67,376 votes cast (39.5%), ahead of Carteret County Sheriff Asa Buck (23,227), state Sen. Bobby Hanig of Currituck County (10,924), Lenoir County Commissioner Eric Rouse (3,626) and attorney Ashley-Nicole Russell (2,975) [2][12]. WUNC reported that she \"won the primary over four other candidates, thanks in part to heavy spending by her campaign and outside groups, and received enough votes to avoid a runoff\" [4]. In November she faces Democratic incumbent Don Davis, who was sworn in for his current term on January 3, 2025, and Libertarian Tom Bailey [1][5].\n\nPresident Donald Trump endorsed Buckhout on March 12, 2026, the day before canvass [6]. \"It's an honor to receive the endorsement of President Trump,\" she wrote on social media. \"NC-01 needs an America First fighter. I was proud to serve in President Trump's administration in the Department of War\" [6]. On March 17, 2026, the National Republican Congressional Committee named her one of nine candidates in the first round of its \"MAGA Majority\" program, the renamed version of the committee's Young Guns program; she had also been part of Young Guns in 2024 [7].\n\nThe district was redrawn in October 2025. The Center Square reported that state lawmakers moved \"six counties from the 3rd Congressional District to the 1st and four from the 1st to the 3rd with a goal of strengthening Republican advantage in the northeastern corner of the state\" [6]; NC Newsline reported that the new map \"carved Davis' Snow Hill home out of the district,\" and noted that congressional candidates are not required to live within their district [7].\n\nHer campaign site says she is \"focused on implementing the America First Agenda; lowering costs for families, securing the border, strengthening national defense, and restoring accountability in government - putting the people of eastern North Carolina first\" [13]. Reporting on her 2024 campaign, NC Newsline wrote that \"[t]hough she has stated that she favors exceptions in some situations, Buckhout describes herself as 'pro-life,' has endorsed the U.S. Supreme Court's reversal of the Roe v. Wade ruling and is endorsed by anti-abortion groups,\" and that she named immigration as her top issue, followed by the economy, energy independence, and support for working families and farmers [3].\n\nThrough June 30, 2026, Buckhout's campaign committee (FEC candidate ID H4NC01137, committee C00853499) reported $3,793,077 in total receipts, including $557,047 in individual contributions, $346,704 from other political committees and $2,401,000 in candidate loans, of which $400,000 had been repaid. The committee reported $1,829,661 in cash on hand and $3,501,000 in debts owed [8][9].\n\n## Background and education\n\nBuckhout was born in 1961 in Virginia [10][7]. She grew up in a military family and told NC Newsline she didn't mind the rootlessness that is part of the life of an \"Army brat\"; she attended James Madison University on an ROTC scholarship and decided to make the Army her career. \"As time went by, the idea of service just continued to appeal to me,\" she said [3]. The Archives of Women's Political Communication at Iowa State University lists her degrees as a Bachelor of Science from James Madison University and a Master of Military Arts and Sciences and a Master of Science from Webster University [10].\n\n## Career\n\nExecutiveGov reports that Buckhout began a 26-year military career in 1984 and retired in 2010; that as commander of the 32nd Signal Battalion she \"led over 600 soldiers in combat in Iraq\"; and that she served as an action officer within J6 on the Joint Staff, as a presidential communications officer within White House Communications, and most recently as chief of the Army Electronic Warfare Division [11]. She retired as a colonel [11][3][4].\n\nAccounts of when she founded her company differ. NC Newsline reported in 2024 that she \"retired from the Army in 2010 and founded the Virginia-based cyber security and electronic warfare company Corvus Consulting,\" and that \"[t]he company was sold in 2019\" [3]. ExecutiveGov reports that she founded Corvus Consulting in 2012 and served as its president and CEO \"until it was acquired by Castellum in 2019,\" after which she worked as Castellum's chief strategist for more than three years [11].\n\nExecutiveGov also lists her membership on the AFCEA International Cyber Committee and the Commerce Spectrum Management Advisory Committee, her service on the board of directors of Student Veterans of America and on the 2013 Defense Science Board Summer Study on 21st Century EMS Operations, and roles as president of the Association of Old Crows, senior director of defense business development at TASC, and vice president at Lanmark Technology [11].\n\nThe Department of Defense said Buckhout was officially appointed deputy assistant secretary of defense for cyber policy on March 17, 2025, with responsibility for overseeing the department's cyberspace policy and strategy [11]. She subsequently held the assistant secretary post in an acting capacity: the Rocky Mount Telegram described the role as \"acting assistant secretary of war for cyber policy\" [12], and her campaign site describes it as \"Acting Assistant Secretary of War for Cyber Policy\" [13].\n\n## Office history\n\nBuckhout's 2024 run for the same seat was her first campaign for political office [10]. She won the Republican nomination and lost the general election to Davis; certified results were Davis 186,341 votes (49.5%), Buckhout 180,034 (47.8%) and Libertarian Tom Bailey 9,949 (2.6%) [14][12]. NC Newsline described the outcome as a defeat \"by 1.7% of the vote\" and reported that the 2024 Davis-Buckhout contest was North Carolina's most expensive congressional race for fundraising that cycle [7].\n\n## Documented disputes and controversies\n\n**Her statements about her health, and her decision to run again.** The Rocky Mount Telegram reported on December 19, 2025 that Buckhout \"was also asked about reports about her health,\" and that \"[a]ccording to media outlets in Edenton, Buckhout reportedly posted on social media that she was not running for Congress again, citing having sustained severe damage to her kidneys from burn pit exposure in Iraq, which she said resulted in frequent infection and her body's inability to filter impurities\" [12]. Buckhout told the paper \"that she had been put on some incorrect medication, but that other doctors corrected this,\" said she is feeling great, and added: \"One of my platforms is to advocate for veterans. And I will tell you people who want to attack me for a combat injury are the ones who have never been there\" [12]. Primary opponent Bobby Hanig's campaign issued a press release \"saying voters deserve full and honest context given that Buckhout had publicly stated that her health issues prevented her from running for office,\" and Hanig asked, \"Did her health miraculously improve at the same time the district was redrawn?\" [12]. Hanig also called Buckhout \"an opportunist\" who had not engaged with eastern North Carolina voters since her 2024 loss, and said she had called him the previous week asking him to step aside and offering him her chief of staff role: \"And I told her no!\" [12].\n\n**Residency and time spent out of state.** After the NRCC named Buckhout to its \"MAGA Majority\" program, Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee spokesperson Madison Andrus told NC Newsline: \"After fleeing North Carolina with her tail tucked between her legs when Don Davis defeated her two years ago, Laurie Buckhout mistakenly thinks voters are going to forget that she only parachutes into the state to run for office\" [7]. NC Newsline reported in 2024 that property records show Buckhout and her husband bought a house in Edenton in 2021, and that she said the couple had been at Fort Bragg during their military careers and planned to return to North Carolina; she also said they had stayed near the Pentagon after her retirement because her children were in school there [3].\n\n**Photographs with Mark Robinson.** NC Newsline reported in October 2024 that Buckhout and other Republican candidates were \"dealing with the fallout of a CNN report that tied GOP candidate for governor Mark Robinson to anti-Semitic, racists, and sexuality explicit posts on a pornographic website,\" and that \"[p]hotos of Buckhout and Robinson posing together were scrubbed from her X account soon after the bombshell report,\" though critics continued to post them in replies [3]. Asked in late September 2024 whether she would vote for Robinson, Buckhout said, \"I'm going to vote down the ticket.\" Robinson denied posting the comments [3].\n\n## Business interests and wealth source\n\nBuckhout's campaign site says that after her military service she \"founded and grew a successful cyber and defense business, creating jobs and hiring primarily veterans while supporting America's national security\" [13]. That business, Corvus Consulting, was acquired by Castellum, where she then worked as chief strategist [11][3]. Federal Election Commission filings for the 2026 cycle show she has loaned her campaign $2,401,000, of which $400,000 had been repaid as of June 30, 2026; the committee reported $3,501,000 in debts owed as of that date [9].\n\n## Sources\n\n[1] [2026 Candidate Listing](https://s3.amazonaws.com/dl.ncsbe.gov/Elections/2026/Candidate%20Filing/Candidate_Listing_2026.csv) - North Carolina State Board of Elections, accessed 2026-07-30\n[2] [Certified precinct results, March 3, 2026 primary](https://s3.amazonaws.com/dl.ncsbe.gov/ENRS/2026_03_03/results_pct_20260303.zip) - North Carolina State Board of Elections, accessed 2026-07-30\n[3] [Republican Laurie Buckhout aiming for a congressional seat in NC's only toss-up district](https://ncnewsline.com/2024/10/04/republican-laurie-buckhout-aiming-for-a-congressional-seat-in-ncs-only-toss-up-district/) - NC Newsline, accessed 2026-07-30\n[4] [Laurie Buckhout wins GOP Congressional primary to set up rematch against U.S. Rep.
