Anyone in Charlotte's new 12th district? [View all]
The election is June 7th, so time to begin deciding.

Who do you like? I am moving toward a decision but want to hear other opinions first. There are SIX candidates, and there will be no runoff, even if none get a simple majority of the vote. I linked the Charlotte Observer profiles. They are not all that enlightening, but at least a place to start.
Alma Adams (incumbent, lived in Greensboro until a few months ago)
Tricia Cotham (local)

Gardenia Henley (Winston-Salem)
Paul Wright (Republican, Mt. Olive, 180 miles outside of the district)
