Is Petitioner's case moot simply because the 2024 midterms are over and he has expressed a desire to run for the 2026 midterms as the 4th Circuit noted?

2.) Whether NCOS 163-106(e) acts as an additional qualification, or is an unconstitutional regulation for U.S. House of Representatives candidates; and whether the Felony Disclosure violates the 1st and 14th Amendments. And whether the 4th Circuit's holding conflicts with U.S. Term Limits, Inc. v. Thornton, 514 U.S. 779 (1995) and Cook v. Gralike, 531 U.S. 510 (2001): Anderson v. Martin, 375 U.S. 399, 402 (1964)?
