Curran may not have the name recognition that Foxx has accumulated over the past decade as a member of Congress, but she is known in local GOP circles.
Curran has been a staunch opponent of the Affordable Care Act, and she's "the mom who took on Kay Hagan," Curran said, referring to a video-recorded confrontation with Hagan, the Democratic U.S. senator who lost her seat in the 2014 election.
