Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use mdy dates Шаблон:Infobox college football player Robert "Bo" Hines (born August 29, 1995) is an American former college football player from North Carolina. He played college football for the NC State Wolfpack and Yale Bulldogs. In 2022, he was the Republican nominee in North Carolina's 13th congressional district.

Early life and education

Hines was born in Charlotte, North Carolina. He attended Charlotte Christian School, where he played football as a wide receiver.

Hines attended North Carolina State University to play college football for the NC State Wolfpack. He led NC State with 45 receptions and 616 receiving yards, including three passes for 79 yards in the 2014 St. Petersburg Bowl.

In 2015, Hines transferred to Yale University because of his interest in politics. He played in four games for the Yale Bulldogs during the 2015 season, catching 11 passes for 134 yards, but missed the rest of the season and the 2016 season due to a separated shoulder that required surgery.

In 2017, Hines retired from college football. He received his Juris Doctor degree from Wake Forest University School of Law in 2022.

Politics

In January 2021, Hines announced that he would run as a Republican for the United States House of Representatives in Шаблон:Ushr, held by Republican Virginia Foxx.

In February 2022, the North Carolina Supreme Court struck down North Carolina’s congressional lines, stating they were "unconstitutional beyond a reasonable doubt." After the North Carolina district lines were thrown out, Hines switched districts to run in the newly created 13th congressional district which is based in the suburbs of Raleigh. He received the endorsement of former President Donald Trump on March 14, who called Hines a "fighter for Conservative values."

In April 2022, local Republicans campaigned against Hines through newspaper advertisements, email blasts, and door-knocking because Hines did not live in the district in which he was running. He lived in Winston-Salem, the heart of the old 5th, but he was in the process of moving to Fuquay-Varina in the new 13th. Members of the House are only required to live in the state they represent, but longstanding convention calls for them to live in or close to the district they represent.

2022 election

On May 17, 2022, Hines won the Republican primary against seven opponents, garnering 32 percent of the vote and defeating his closest opponent by nearly double digits. Hines lost the election to Democratic state Senator Wiley Nickel.

In May 2022, Business Insider reported that Hines was funding the majority of his campaign with a trust fund. Campaign finance disclosures show that only 28 percent of Hines' race was self-funded, with a majority of campaign contributions coming from individual donors. While campaigning on an "America-First economy", Hines faced criticism because his campaign hats were made in China.

On the campaign trail, Hines said he was pro-life but that abortion is a state's rights issue. Hines said, "This is a Raleigh issue, not a Washington issue." Hines expressed belief that the 2020 election was stolen and promoted voter fraud conspiracy theories.

Personal life

Hines's father, Todd, played for the Detroit Lions of the National Football League and the Hamilton Tiger-Cats of the Canadian Football League. Hines married Olivia Elizabeth Andretti in June 2017. The couple divorced in July 2019,Шаблон:Better source needed and Hines married Mary Charles Bryson in July 2021.
