Walter Jones Jr. is an anti-amnesty liberal Democrat running for office with an "R" next to his name.
If you're a single issue voter and simply don't care that he's liberal on everything else, and will happily support the most pro-Democrat "Republican" Congressman in the south because he votes the right way on amnesty, that's your choice. Liberal Democrat Robert Byrd was rock solid on opposing amnesty too so I suppose he'd have your support. But don't pretend that Jones is an "anti-establishment conservative" or Tea Party material because he happens to agree with conservatives on 2 issues out of 100.
As for, I choose not to support a politician who gets glowing praise from Mother Jones.
Poltics1 reports that Tata has announced he’s not running, so we need someone else.
2014 challenger Taylor Griffin (who came close) is listed as a potential candidate. He’s reportedly remained active in the district.
