Career

Rhodes was the first member of the North Carolina House to call for the resignation of Speaker James B. Black, after Black was accused of ethics violations and malfeasance. Black later resigned from the House after winning re-election in 2006 and was convicted on state and federal charges in 2007.

Rhodes ran as a write-in candidate for the U.S. Senate in 2014.[2][3][4] In unofficial results, the state reported that Rhodes had received 621 votes.[5]
