Moore has been making calls to members of the North Carolina delegation and key supporters alerting them to his run, Moore adviser Paul Shumaker said.

North Carolina Republicans redrew the state's congressional districts last month. The new map, which is not subject to a gubernatorial veto, is projected to net GOP candidates at least three and possibly four seats, including flipping the 14th District, including Moore's home county of Cleveland.
