provides Congressional District information for the current Congress, and the Representative currently serving that Congressional District for the duration of the current Congress, which ends on January 2, 2023. Many Congressional District boundaries were re-drawn based on the results of the 2020 Census to accommodate population changes. Updates to these district boundaries may have changed what district you vote(d) in during 2022 primary and general elections, but will
not change your present Congressional district until these changes go into effect at the start of the new Congress in January 2023.

elected until officially recognized by the House of Representatives as an active Member of Congress, with the exception of Special Elections held to replace vacancies.
