Your North Carolina Representatives in Congress and How to Contact Them

North Carolina is represented in Congress by 14 lawmakers—7 Republicans and 7 Democrats. They hold a wide array of views on critical issues, ranging from education to abortion. Here’s what you need to know about your representatives and how to contact them.

We’re just over a month into the new session of Congress, one in which Republicans control the US House of Representatives and Democrats control the Senate. While divided government means that there may be fewer big pieces of legislation passed than during the last Congress, the business of governing continues—and the people you voted for will determine what that governance looks like. 

North Carolina is represented in Congress by 14 lawmakers—7 Republicans and 7 Democrats. They hold a wide array of views on critical issues, ranging from education to abortion to taxation. Here’s what you need to know about your representative and how to contact them.

1st Congressional District 

If you live in the Black Belt, other portions of rural, northeastern North Carolina, or the outer exurbs of the Research Triangle, chances are you’re represented by newly-elected Democratic Congressman Don Davis.

Davis, an Air Force veteran, educator, and minister, was elected as Mayor of Snow Hill at age 29 and then served as a state Senator for more than a decade before being elected to Congress in November.

Now in Congress, Davis has already introduced legislation that would allow the federal government to partner directly with local government to expand Medicaid coverage, bypassing NC state Republicans who’ve refused to expand Medicaid for nearly a decade.

“Expanding accessible health care is one of my top priorities in Congress. The North Carolina state legislature has failed to expand Medicaid,” Davis said in a press release. “Failure to do so ultimately prevents more than 95,000 eastern North Carolinians from accessing lifesaving health care and bringing more than 3,000 jobs to the east.”

Davis’ other priorities include improving public education in rural communities, expanding access to broadband, and helping struggling farmers. He also supports greater investments in education, career training, health, and housing assistance for veterans to help veterans deal with mental health crises.

Constituents who want to reach Rep. Davis can call him at either of his two offices:

Greenville: (252) 999-7600

Washington, D.C.: (202) 225-3101

2nd Congressional District

During her first term in Congress, Ross helped pass crucial legislation that lowered the cost of health insurance for millions of Americans, implemented an insulin copay cap for seniors, and made once-in-a-generation investments in American infrastructure, manufacturing, and mental health.

Ross’ priorities include defending abortion rights and the freedom to vote, overhauling America’s broken childcare and elder care systems, increasing the minimum wage, and making community college more affordable.

Constituents can contact Rep. Ross at either of her two offices:

Raleigh: (919) 334-0840

Murphy served in the state House from 2015 to 2019, before winning a special election and joining Congress.

During his time in Congress, Murphy voted for the 2017 Trump tax cuts, which largely benefited big corporations and the very rich. He also voted to overturn the 2020 presidential election and celebrated the demise of Roe v. Wade.

If you live in northwestern North Carolina, there’s a pretty good chance you’re represented by Congresswoman Virginia Foxx.

Foxx has served in Congress since 2005, where she has been a staunch opponent of abortion rights, LGBTQ rights (including gay marriage), and the Affordable Care Act, which helped hundreds of thousands of North Carolinians get health insurance for the first time.

Bishop was first elected to Congress in 2018, but is perhaps best known for spearheading the infamous “bathroom bill” during his time in the North Carolina General Assembly. That bill, which banned transgender people from using public restrooms other than those of their sex at birth, led to widespread backlash and cost the state significant revenue and investments before it was ultimately repealed.

Bishop opposed that repeal and compared LGBT rights activists to the Taliban.

Since entering Congress, Bishop has voted to overturn the 2020 presidential election results, and celebrated the repeal of Roe v. Wade.
