J
ewish attorney and
community activist
Kathy Manning, who
was born and raised in
Detroit, has won her race to
become the representative-
elect of North Carolina’
s
6th congressional district.
Manning, a Democrat,
flipped the district from red
to blue.
Her district includes
her current hometown
of Greensboro. Manning
overwhelmed the Republican
contender, Joseph Lee
Haywood, by almost 100,000
votes for the House seat,
251,082 (62.3%) votes to
152,195 (37.7%) votes.
“Thank you, #NC06! I’
m
proud to be the first woman
ever elected to represent you
in Congress,” Manning said
through Twitter on Election
Night. “Together, we will
build our country back
stronger and more equitably
than before.”
Manning studied law at
the University of Michigan
and was the first woman
to serve as the chair of the
Jewish Federation of North
America, from 2009-2012.
She was also the founding
chairwoman of Prizmah, the
umbrella body for Jewish day
schools of all denominations.
Manning also ran an
unsuccessful U.S. House
campaign in 2018 for North
Carolina’
s District 13, losing
to Republican Todd Budd.
A search of the William
Davidson Archives of Jewish
Detroit History indicates that
Manning attended Temple
Beth El as a child and
was a member of its 1971
confirmation class.
The Manning campaign
had not responded to the
JN’s request for comment as
of press time.
