North Carolina Delegation Faces Change as Henderson Retires
Rep. David Henderson plans to retire after eight terms, triggering a shift in seniority and a loss of a committee chair for the North Carolina delegation. James Broyhill will rise in seniority but face no guarantee of a chair unless Republicans gain control. Primary challenges loom in the Third District, with candidates including Jimmy Love, Joseph Overby, and Charles Whitley. The realignment and mood of voters point to tighter, more contested races in 1977.
