24-year-old Madison Cawthorn could become the youngest person in Congress if he wins the election for a North Carolina House seat this November.
The Republican won his GOP primary race against President Trump-backed Lynda Bennett in an unexpected defeat, CNN projects.
Cawthorn describes himself as a "constitutional conservative" who is "committed to defending the values of faith, family and the freedom that have made America great," according to his website. The political newcomer is the owner of a real estate investment company and a motivational speaker. He was partially paralyzed in a 2014 car crash.
The 11th Congressional District in North Carolina is a solidly red district. Cawthorn is expected to win the seat as the GOP candidate.
Cawthorn will turn 25 in August, the constitutionally required age to serve in the House. If elected in November, he will overtake Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez as the youngest member in Congress.
