Democratic Rep. Alma Adams won reelection to the U.S. House in North Carolina’s 12th Congressional District. The Associated Press called the Nov. 3 race for Adams, WSOC-TV reported in its election-night coverage.
Unofficial districtwide results from the N.C. State Board of Elections, checked Nov. 4, showed Adams with 219,672 votes (81.20%) and Republican Jack Codiga with 50,864 (18.80%). All 145 precincts had reported. Adams led by 168,808 votes.
Adams faced Republican Jack Codiga. She has represented the district since winning a special election in November 2014, according to her congressional biography.
Where the district reaches south Charlotte
NC-12 covers part of Mecklenburg County, including much of Charlotte and a portion of Pineville. It does not cover the entire county or all Ballantyne-area voters.
The General Assembly’s statistical report for the congressional map used in the 2026 election, based on 2020 census geography and population, places 2,700 of Pineville’s 10,602 residents in NC-12. The remainder are in NC-14. Those are census population figures, not turnout or vote totals. Residents can confirm their own congressional district through the state’s voter-search tool.
The candidates’ priorities
In WSOC-TV’s candidate questionnaire, Adams emphasized reducing living costs and expanding access to health care, affordable housing, higher education and nutritious food. Codiga advocated changes to monetary policy and election rules, including a majority-runoff system.
The AP race call is separate from official certification. All totals remain unofficial and subject to post-election verification and certification.
