Meet Addison
Addison McDowell was raised in Davidson County. In a Christian family where church was always a priority, Addison learned conservative North Carolina values from an early age. Thanks in part to a Baptist scholarship, Addison graduated from UNC Charlotte where he met his wife, Rachel, through the YoungLife Ministry. After graduating, he went on to work for Congressman (now US Senator) Ted Budd as a Constituent Liaison.
Addison was first elected to Congress in 2024 and is running for re-election to fight for hardworking North Carolina families and the America First Agenda.
