An assistant D.A. may run against U.S. Rep. Patrick McHenry.
Daniel Johnson, 31, currently lives and works in Raleigh, but he told the Hickory Daily Record that he may move back to his hometown to launch a campaign.
"We’re trying to see if it's the right thing for me and my wife right now," he told the paper. "It is something that I'm considering and looking into."
Johnson received the Navy Marine Corps Medal for saving a crewmate during a 1999 accident on the U.S.S. Blue Ridge that severed both of his legs below the knees.
A graduate of UNC-Chapel Hill, he has worked for Wake County District Attorney Colon Willoughby's office for three years.
The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee released a statement praising Johnson Wednesday.
