North Carolina's 14th congressional district
U.S. House district for North Carolina
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
North Carolina's 14th congressional district is a congressional district in the United States House of Representatives created after the 2020 United States census.[3][4] The newly created district was first drawn by a three-judge panel in the Wake County Superior Court as part of a remedial map that was only used for the 2022 United States House of Representatives elections.[5] It currently includes all Burke, Cleveland, Gaston, and Rutherford Counties, along with portions of Mecklenburg, and Polk Counties, including portions of Charlotte. In 2022, the district included the southern half of Mecklenburg County and three-fourths of Gaston County.

In 2022, the district originally leaned Democratic. Even though Gaston County is heavily Republican, the district's share of heavily Democratic Mecklenburg County had twice the population of the Gaston County portion. On October 25, 2023, the North Carolina General Assembly created and passed a new congressional map that carved away most of the district's share of Mecklenburg County and pushed it into heavily Republican territory in the Foothills. This shifted the district's Cook Partisan Voting Index from D+6 to R+8.[6][7][8]
The 14th district was first represented by Democrat Jeff Jackson and is now currently represented by Republican Tim Moore.
