Raleigh, NC – On Monday, December 11, 2023, House Majority Whip Karl E. Gillespie (R-Macon) officially announced his intention to run for re-election to the North Carolina House of Representatives. “After considerable prayer and discussions with my family, I have decided to run for a third term in the North Carolina House of Representatives," stated Rep. Gillespie. "It has been a rewarding experience and truly a privilege to represent the people of House District 120 these last two terms. I am incredibly proud of what we have accomplished for North Carolina and for the district. However, the job's not done, and now more than ever, we need effective leadership and strong advocates for the people of far Western North Carolina. I want to thank the constituents of Macon, Clay, Graham, and Cherokee Counties for their confidence in me these last two terms. I look forward to the opportunity once again to earn your support so that I may continue to be a voice for you in Raleigh."
During Rep. Gillespie’s two terms in Raleigh, he has voted to defend the Second Amendment, support balanced budgets, lower individual income taxes, defend North Carolina farmers and the agriculture industry, and reduce and streamline unnecessary government regulations.
During Rep. Gillespie’s first two terms in office, he was able to secure over $85 million in investments for House District 120. Currently in his second term in office, Rep. Gillespie was chosen by his colleagues as House Majority Whip and is the Co-Chair of the House Environment Committee and the House Appropriations-Agriculture and Natural and Economic Resources Committee.
A small business owner and fifth generation Maconian, Representative Gillespie lives on his family farm in Macon County with his wife Janet.
