During his 18 years as the representative for North Carolina’s 7th congressional district, McIntyre was a consummate friend to electric cooperatives. In recognition of this service, the cooperatives awarded Rep. McIntyre the President’s Award this year.

Former Congressman Howard Coble, who represented North Carolina’s 6th congressional district from 1985–2015 and passed away in November, also received the President’s Award from the cooperatives this year.
