The district is currently represented by Mark Harris, a member of the Republican Party.
Candidate filing began February 24, 2022, after the North Carolina Supreme Court approved a new map only used for the 2022 United States House of Representatives elections which then changed the 8th district boundaries to include Anson, Davidson, Montgomery, Rowan, Stanly and Union Counties and parts of Cabarrus and Richmond counties.[3] After the North Carolina General Assembly approved a new congressional map, the district's Cook Partisan Voting Index shifted from R+20 to R+10. While the district is more Democratic than its previous iteration, it is still considered to be one of the most Republican districts in North Carolina.[4][5][6]
