Who is my U.S. representative in SC-05?
Your current U.S. Representative for South Carolina's 5th District is Ralph Norman (R), who's served since 2017, representing most of the South Carolina side of the Charlotte metro area plus outer parts of the Upstate and Midlands. He's still in office and is up for reelection in 2026, serving until January 3, 2027. Wikipedia GovTrack.us A few things worth knowing: Norman isn't running for reelection to this seat — he announced a run for Governor of South Carolina in July 2025, so his House term will end when the new Congress is seated in January 2027. Wikipedia The seat is being contested this cycle: Wes Climer and Bill Bledsoe faced off in the Republican primary, while Andrew Clough, Mallory Dittmer, and Alex Harper ran on the Democratic side, with the primary held June 9, 2026 (a runoff would've been June 23 if needed). The general election is November 3, 2026. Ballotpedia So Norman is your rep through the end of this term, but whoever wins in November will take over starting January 2027.
