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.
Members of the U.S. House of Representatives write and vote on federal laws, including the federal budget. Each represents one district and serves a two-year term. Tax bills must start in the House, only the House can impeach federal officials, and members oversee federal agencies through their committees.
