A second Democrat has joined the ranks of those who are opposing freshman Congressman Mark Walker in the 2016 election. Pete Glidewell launched his campaign Wednesday for North Carolina's Sixth District.
Glidewell announced his candidacy on Veterans Day in front of the Burlington Veterans Memorial. According to the News & Observer, he's a textile sales executive who recently served as chairman of the Alamance County Democratic Party.
Glidewell joins former Guilford County Commissioner Bruce Davis in the race. Davis fell short in the 2014 Democratic primary for the seat to Laura Fjeld.
Walker is seeking a second term in the Sixth District, which includes parts of Greensboro and six counties along the Virginia border. He already has two announced Republican primary opponents, Greensboro attorney and Air Force veteran Kenn Kopf and Guilford County police officer and Coast Guard veteran Chris Hardin.
