Addison McDowell was born and raised in Davidson County. In a Christian family where church was always a priority, Addison learned conservative North Carolina values from an early age. Thanks in part to a Baptist scholarship, Addison graduated from UNC Charlotte where he met his wife, Rachel, through the YoungLife Ministry. After graduating, he went on to work for Congressman (now US Senator) Ted Budd as a Constituent Liaison.
Addison is running for Congress now to take his fight for working families to Congress and is endorsed by President Donald Trump and US Senator Ted Budd- because they believe he is the candidate who will put up the strongest fight to help them promote the America First Agenda and secure our Southern border.
