Three Republican Congressmen from North Carolina are skipping the Republican National Convention which starts Monday in Philadelphia. They are according to the Raleigh News and Observer:  

 

Rep. Walter Jones: Jones will not attend the GOP convention – no surprise, given that the 10-term congressman traditionally skips the party affair.

 

Rep. Richard Hudson: Hudson will not attend. His office said Wednesday he plans to be in North Carolina during the convention dates and will be meeting with constituents and holding events in his district.

 

Rep. Mark Walker.
