The 11th congressional district sits in the Western corner of North Carolina—wedged between North Carolina’s borders with Tennessee, South Carolina, and Georgia. Within its borders sits part of a national park, a separate nation, a host of small towns and unincorporated places, and some of the nation’s most fascinating politics. In this session, Chris Cooper, a Political Science Professor at Western Carolina University, will discuss the politics of this mountain district and explore how it has shifted from a Democratic stronghold, to a district that swung from party to party so often that it became known as “the turnstile,” to its current status as the home of far-right congressman Madison Cawthorn. Along the way, we will explore how the 11th reflects national political trends related to redistricting, polarization and partisan change.
Grace, Support, Love.
