North Carolina's 10th congressional district is acongressional district in central and westernNorth Carolina. It currently includes all ofCatawba,Iredell,Lincoln, andYadkin counties, and most ofForsyth County including much of the city ofWinston-Salem. The district has aCook Partisan Voting Index rating of R+9.[2]
Republicans have won the district continuously since 1969, and the lastDemocrat to win this district wasBasil Whitener who represented it from 1963 to 1969. RepublicanPat Harrigan has represented the district since 2025.
The 10th district was part of the controversial statewide redistricting by the Republican-led state legislature in 2011.[3] The district's northwest border was redrawn to include most of heavily DemocraticAsheville, long the heart of the11th district. At the same time, some heavily Republican areas in the 10th were shifted to the 11th. While this made the 10th approximately seven points more Democratic, it was not nearly enough to overcome the heavy Republican tilt in the westernCharlotte suburbs.
On February 23, 2022, theNorth Carolina Supreme Court had approved a new map to only be used for the2024 United States House of Representatives elections which changed the 10th district boundaries to includeAlexander,Burke, northwestGaston County, easternRutherford County and a small section of southeasternCaldwell County.[4]
On October 25, 2023 theNorth Carolina General Assembly passed a new congressional map[5][6][7]for the2024 United States House of Representatives electionsto includeYadkin county, and most ofForsyth County including much ofWinston-Salem, shifting the normally heavilyRepublican district'sCook Partisan Voting Index from R+22 to R+9. The district has historically been the mostRepublican district in the state and normally the mostexurban in character.
For the119th and successive Congresses (based on the districts drawn following a 2023 legislative session), the district contains all or portions of the following counties and communities.[8][9][10]
