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.
