Former Ambassador Joe Wilson, husband of outed CIA agent Valerie Plame Wilson, is headlining a Charlotte fundraiser Sept. 22 for Larry Kissell (D), who again is attempting to upset Rep. Robin Hayes (R) in the competitive 8th district.

The high school social studies teacher, who came within 329 votes of beating Hayes last year, also will be joined by House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) and Rep. John Spratt (D-S.C.), the chairman of the Budget Committee.
