Winston-Salem isn't even IN her district. Its suburbs and outlying rural areas are in the 5th, but not the city itself (and its African-American population). There is no large city in the district. It's mostly rural, with a lot of small towns thrown in. Foxx is from Watauga County (in the extreme western part of the district) and she has LOST in Watauga in the last two elections. We are TRYING to get rid of her, but the deck is stacked against us. If Winston-Salem was actually in her district, she would be singing a different tune!
