Watercott has earned endorsement from both the Libertarian Party of North Carolina and Liberty iNC, raising over $30,000. His campaign on Crowdpac has also raised an impressive amount.
District 6’s boundaries have changed with this race and now encompass parts of Guilford County, Rockingham County, Caswell County and Caswell County – previously it consisted of only Guilford and part of Forsyth Counties. As this seat overlaps well with NC-4, where Republicans are strong, this seat could easily return to them but for Castelli’s anti-abortion and anti-gay views it might turn back towards Democrats.
