The 2022 United States House of Representatives elections in North Carolina were held on November 8, 2022, to elect U.S. representatives from the state of North Carolina, concurrent with nationwide elections to the House of Representatives and U.S. Senate (including in North Carolina), alongside legislative elections to the state house and senate. Primaries were held on May 17, 2022.
Background
As a result of population growth over the preceding decade, the state's Congressional delegation increased from thirteen seats to fourteen in 2022. Republican-drawn districts adopted by the state legislature was struck down by the North Carolina Supreme Court as unconstitutional partisan gerrymander, and court-drawn maps issued in their place. Democrats flipped the redrawn 13th district from Republican control, and won the newly created 14th district, yielding an even 7âÂÂ7 House delegation.
District 1
The incumbent was Democrat G. K. Butterfield, who was re-elected with 54.2% of the vote in 2020.
The 1st district includes Vance, Warren, Franklin, Halifax, Northampton, Nash, Wilson, Edgecombe, Greene, Martin, Bertie, Hertford, Gates, Chowan, Perquimans, Pasquotank, Washington, and Tyrell counties. It also includes the majority of Pitt County.
