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. ==Counties and communities==
