1st Congressional District

The NC General Assembly approved the new Congressional map this week. It shifts the state's 1st Congressional District from a swing district to one where a Republican can more easily win.

Republican state Sen. Bobby Hanig has announced his bid for a U.S. House seat in North Carolina. The coastal legislator aims to unseat two-term Democratic Rep. Don Davis.

North Carolina's 1st District was one of only 13 in the country to pick Donald Trump for president and a Democrat for Congress in 2024.

In a narrow victory over Republican challenger Laurie Buckhout, Democrat Don Davis was reelected to a second term representing North Carolina's 1st Congressional District in the U.S. House.

First-term Democratic Congressman Don Davis is defending his seat in a district that state lawmakers redrew to give Republicans a slightly better shot at winning. He is being challenged by a political newcomer, Laurie Buckhout.

The newly redrawn 13th District was considered one of the most competitive in the state.

Butterfield, a former state Supreme Court justice who has held the 1st Congressional District seat since 2004, announced in November that he would not seek reelection.

Since winning a special election in 2004, Butterfield has been a reliable progressive vote, supporting healthcare, environmental causes and civil rights.
