Hendersonville Mayor Greg Newman announced Tuesday that he is seeking the Republican nomination to challenge U.S. Rep. Heath Shuler, a Democrat, the Asheville Citizen-Times reported.
Newman, 47, has served as mayor since 2005. Shuler, first elected in 2006, is a former NFL quarterback who has banked $1 million for his reelection bid.
The western North Carolina district is in a small minority of truly competitive districts in the country.

Re: Newman aims to sack Shuler
I'm SO glad a liberal Mayor lawyer that sucks up Fed funds like a syphon is FINALLY putting that Conservative Shuler's feet to the fire.
After all, the so-called Democrat Shuler won by beating a Bush lackey pork monster, right Paul Terrell?
I, like you, am so sick of reading how Heath supports the Republican agenda this, Heath doesn't support the President's agenda that, Heath doesn't support what most Americans want or what poor Appalachia needs. Jebus. It's time to elect a giant tax and spend liberal in the mountains, just like Charles Taylor was. Thanks trial lawyer Newman for being that change, but with an R by his name, just like Bush and Charles Taylor.
Morons.
