Addison Parker McDowell (born January 21, 1994) is an American politician from North Carolina. He is the member for the United States House of Representatives in North Carolina's 6th congressional district.

Early life and career

McDowell was born in January 1994. He was raised in Lexington, North Carolina, and graduated from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte in 2016. He worked for a United States House of Representatives election campaign for Richard Hudson and in constituent services for Representative Ted Budd. He then served as a lobbyist for Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Carolina.

Political career

McDowell decided to run for the United States House of Representatives in North Carolina's 6th congressional district in the 2024 elections. He attributed his decision to run to his younger brother Luke's death from an accidental fentanyl overdose.

McDowell finished in first place in the Republican primary election with 26% of the vote, though he fell short of the 30% of the vote required to avoid a runoff election. Mark Walker finished in second place, with 24%. Though Walker initially indicated that he wanted a runoff election, he opted to join the Donald Trump 2024 presidential campaign rather than seek a runoff, making McDowell the Republican nominee. He won the November election.

Personal life

McDowell's younger brother, Luke, died from an overdose of fentanyl in 2016. He has two children.
