North Carolina's 6th congressional district

North Carolina's 6th congressional district is a congressional district located in the north central portion of the U.S state of North Carolina. All of Davidson, Davie, and Rowan counties are located in the district, along with portions of Cabarrus, Forsyth, and Guilford counties including small portions of Greensboro, and Winston-Salem. On October 25, 2023, the North Carolina General Assembly approved a new congressional map shifting the district's Cook Partisan Voting Index from D+4 to R+9. It is currently represented by Republican Addison McDowell.

History From 2003 to 2013 the 6th district comprised all of Moore and Randolph counties and portions of Alamance, Davidson, Guilford, and Rowan counties. Until court-mandated redistricting in 2019, the district included the entirety of Alamance County, Caswell County, Chatham County, Lee County, Person County, Randolph County, and, Rockingham County, as well as portions of Guilford County.

After congressional reapportionment following the 2010 census, the district was shifted northward by the North Carolina General Assembly. From then until 2017, it included portions of Guilford, Alamance, Durham, Granville, and Orange counties, and all of Caswell, Person, Rockingham, Surry, and Stokes counties. In 2015, it was reconfigured again but remained in the same general region.

As a result of court-mandated redistricting in 2019, it was shifted into the central Triad region and contained all of Guilford County, all of Rockingham County, most of Caswell County, and a portion of Forsyth County. The cities of Greensboro, Winston-Salem, and High Point were located in the district until 2022.

The district was represented by Mark Walker, a Republican, from 2015 until 2021. In December 2019, Walker announced that he would not run for re-election in 2020.

On February 23, 2022, the North Carolina Supreme Court approved a new map only used for the 2022 United States House of Representatives elections which changed the 6th district boundaries to also include Caswell and Rockingham Counties.

Prior to 2022 redistricting the 6th district included all of Guilford County and part of Forsyth.
