Since getting elected to Congress, she's become a favorite of Boehner's RINO leadership and without fail votes for big-government items that he supports.<ref>http://www.primarymycongressman.com/rep-renee-ellmers-nc-02/</ref>
===2016 election===
Prior to the 2016 election, Ellmers' district was subject to litigation and a court-ordered redrawing of its boundaries. The new district had only 18 percent of Ellmers' former district and also contained the residence of incumbent Congressman [[George Holding]]. Although Ellmers was endorsed by [[Donald Trump]], who made a robo-call on her behalf, Ellmers lost a three-way Republican primary and retired at the end of her third term in Congress.
