North Carolina House member, Rep. Bobby Hanig of Currituck County, has switched chambers after being appointed to the Senate after Sen. Bill Steinburg of Chowan County resigned at the end of July.
Hanig's Senate's term expires at the end of the year. He's already running in November for a two-year term in the Senate in a different 1st District reconfigured by redistricting. Valerie Jordan is the Democratic nominee in that race.
Hanig's switch also means a seat vacancy in the current 6th House District that he represented until Monday.
