North Carolina's 3rd congressional district is located on the Atlantic coast of North Carolina. It covers the Outer Banks and the counties adjacent to the Pamlico Sound.

The district is currently represented by

Frank Palombo, the former New Bern Police Chief, for the Republican Party nomination.[4] The winner of the Republican primary then faced Marine Corps Veteran Erik Anderson in the general election.[5]

A special election to fill the vacancy caused by Jones's death was held on September 10, 2019. State representative Greg Murphy won the election.[6]

On February 23, 2022, the North Carolina Supreme Court approved a new map which changed the 3rd district boundaries to include Duplin and Sampson counties and part of Wayne County while removing Chowan, Greene, Pasquotank, Perquimans and Tyrrell counties[7]
