North Dakota's at-large congressional district is the sole congressional district for the state ofNorth Dakota . Based on size, it is the eighth largestcongressional district in the nation.
The district was represented byKelly Armstrong who served in Congress until December 2024 when he resigned to take office asGovernor of North Dakota . The district is currently represented by RepublicanJulie Fedorchak .
The district was first created when North Dakota achieved statehood on November 2, 1889, electing a single member. Following the1900 United States census the state was allocated two seats, both of whom were elected from an at large district. Following the1910 United States census a third seat was gained, with the legislature drawing three separate districts. The third district was eliminated after the1930 United States census . After the third seat was lost, North Dakota returned to electing two members at-large (statewide).
Following the1960 United States census two separate districts were created. In 1970, the second district was eliminated following the1970 United States census and a single at-large district was created. Since 1972, North Dakota has retained a single congressional district.
