Big win for Dan Bishop considering he won by 3937 votes and the Nov. 2018 Republican candidate only won by 905 votes. The original Nov. 2018 election result was thrown out due to irregularities.

The 9th CD election won by Republican Dan Bishop by 3937 votes was the conclusion of a Nov. 2018 midterm election. Irregularities in the original contest caused it to be scrapped and a new election ordered.
In Nov. 2018 result, only 905 votes separated Democrat McCready and then Republican candidate Mark Harris. Dan Bishop beat nine other Republicans in the May 14 [2019] primary. Mr. Harris did not run. “The biggest spender behind Mr. McCready has been the Environmental Defense Action Fund and its super PAC, EDF Action Votes, spending a combined $586,000, according to a report by Open Secrets.” 8/13/19, Washington Times

Added: Even better news is that to get the Republican nomination Dr. Greg Murphy beat an Establishment Republican candidate in the primary runoff in July 2019, 59.7% to 40.3%:
“Dr. Greg Murphy, the conservative anti-establishment candidate in North Carolina’s third congressional district, crushed the establishment-backed Dr. Joan Perry on his way to winning the GOP nomination for the special election Tuesday night in what amounted to a proxy battle inside the Republican Party.”
