Roberson Drops Congressional Bid, Cites City Debt, Redistricting
Update: 2025-12-12
Description
Rocky Mount Mayor Sandy Roberson, a healthcare executive, has ended his congressional campaign due to the citys financial struggles and new redistricting maps. He had invested $3M and raised $500K, but local voters re-elected incumbents despite the citys $10M monthly overspending. The redrawn map favors Republicans, prompting Robersons exit and opening the field for other GOP candidates like State Senator Bobby Hanig and Carteret County Sheriff Asa Buck.
