U.S. Rep. Patrick McHenry has won the Republican nomination for his seat in North Carolina.
McHenry won his primary Tuesday over five other opponents in the most crowded field in the state. McHenry is running for an eighth term in the western 10th District, which includes Asheville east through the foothills to Gastonia.
McHenry has risen through the ranks of the U.S. House since getting elected in 2004 to become chief deputy whip for the Republicans.
In the general election, McHenry will face computer consultant David Wilson Brown, who ran unopposed for the Democratic nomination.
