Democrat in Felony Court

Democrat LaKesha Womack, who defeated Republican Rep. Tim Moore with 51.1% of the vote in North Carolina’s 14th Congressional District, is scheduled to appear in court Nov. 10 on a pending felony charge. The charge alleges she failed to return a $20,000 rental vehicle in 2019; Womack has acknowledged returning it late, saying she was homeless and unaware a criminal case had been filed. The Class H felony can carry a prison sentence of more than two years, and House rules call for members facing qualifying felony charges to step aside from committee and party leadership roles while the case is pending.
