Cross-posting from “[state and federal politics](https://community.dtraleigh.com/t/raleigh-in-state-and-federal-politics/2550/6)” since that thread isn’t visible to everyone:

> David Price, the congressman representing North Carolina’s 4th district (which includes RTP and, [for a time](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Carolina%27s_4th_congressional_district#/media/File:North_Carolina_US_Congressional_District_4_(since_2013).tif), DTR), is [retiring once his term ends on Jan. 2023](https://www.newsobserver.com/news/politics-government/article255057582.html#storylink=mainstage_lead).
> 
> The former theologist and professor served for over 3 decades in Congress, and is the chair of the House subcommittee on transportation, housing, and urban development (which is a part of side of Congress that tells federal agencies how to use taxpayer money). That means he had a hand in making regional projects like Raleigh’s New Bern BRT into reality. He was also a big advocate on campaign finance reform and transparency in the NCAA.
> 
> Cary-based State senator Wiley Nickel [has already raised $250k+](https://indyweek.com/news/wake/breaking_wiley_nickel_to_run_for_US_congress/) in a bid to take his place. We’ll see if he succeeds, though, since we don’t even know where our new congressional boundaries will be, yet.
