On Friday, January 3, members of the 119th Congress were sworn into office, including five new U.S. House members from North Carolina. All in all, the Old North State has 16 members in our congressional delegation—two U.S. Senators and 14 members in the U.S. House of Representatives.
North Carolina did not have a U.S. Senate race on the ballot in 2024, so U.S. Senators Thom Tillis (R) and Ted Budd (R) remain in office.
All members of the U.S. House are elected every two years. As a result of congressional redistricting in 2023 and the General Election of 2024, North Carolina’s representation in the U.S. House shifted from 7 Republicans and 7 Democrats to 10 Republicans and 4 Democrats.
Returning incumbent U.S. House members include:
U.S. House District 1: Rep. Don Davis (D) – 2nd Term
U.S. House District 2: Rep. Deborah K. Ross (D) – 3rd Term
U.S. House District 3: Rep. Greg Murphy (R) – 4th Term
U.S. House District 4: Rep. Valerie Foushee (D) – 2nd Term
U.S. House District 5: Rep. Virginia Foxx (R) – 11th Term
U.S. House District 7: Rep. David Rouzer (R) – 6th Term
U.S. House District 9: Rep. Richard Hudson (R) – 7th Term
U.S. House District 11: Rep. Chuck Edwards (R) – 2nd Term
U.S. House District 12: Rep. Alma Adams (D) – 7th Term
The five new members of North Carolina’s U.S. House Delegation are:
U.S. House District 6: Rep. Addison McDowell (R) – 1st Term
U.S. House District 8: Rep. Mark Harris (R) – 1st Term
U.S. House District 10: Rep. Pat Harrigan (R) – 1st Term
U.S. House District 13: Rep. Brad Knott (R) – 1st Term
U.S. House District 14: Rep. Tim Moore (R) – 1st Term
Also on Friday, the U.S. House reelected Rep. Mike Johnson (R-Louisiana) as Speaker of the House. Speaker Johnson presides over a chamber currently made up of 219 Republicans and 215 Democrats. (One vacancy remains due to the resignation of former Florida Republican Rep. Matt Gaetz). Republicans also hold majority control in the U.S. Senate with 53 seats, compared to the Democrats’ 47 seats.
UPDATE: On Monday, January 6, in a joint session of Congress, the U.S. House and U.S. Senate certified the election of Donald Trump as the 47th President of the United States, and J.D. Vance as Vice President. The presidential inauguration is scheduled to take place in our nation’s capital on Monday, January 20.
