Reagan Leads Gardner And Kornegay Win Seats In Congress
Gardner, a 34 year old conservative and former state GOP chairman, captured North Carolina's 4th District seat by defeating Cooley with 56 520 votes to 43 633 as Democrats retained control in the oddly shaped Fifth District with Galifianakis beating Fred Steele in Durham. Gardner’s victory ends Cooley’s 32 year House tenure and 16 year chairmanship of the Agricultural Committee, reflecting urban shifts in Wake County Raleigh and rural counties turning against Cooley amid anti Johnson sentiment.
