Biography & Current Office

Background & current office

Mark Harris is the Republican U.S. representative for North Carolina’s 8th District and began serving in the 119th Congress in January 2025. The House Historian records his education at Appalachian State University and Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary and his career as a pastor before entering Congress.

The House Clerk currently lists Harris on Agriculture, Education and Workforce, and Judiciary, with subcommittee assignments spanning farm policy, education, regulatory reform and constitutional issues. His 2018 congressional election was not certified and North Carolina ordered a new election; he chose not to run in that new contest. That historical election chronology is biographical context, not a TrumpsMouth claim rating.

Recent Recorded Votes

Official recorded-vote record

TrumpsMouth keeps vote data in the public-record layer rather than treating a vote by itself as a factual controversy. Use the official chamber roll-call database to inspect current votes; claim-specific vote explanations are added only when a sourced allegation requires them.

Sponsored/Cosponsored & Curated Notable Legislation

Legislation & official congressional activity

No legislation has been promoted into the curated editorial layer for this member yet. That is intentional: TrumpsMouth does not manufacture a “notable bill” merely to fill a profile.

Use the official federal records below to review sponsored legislation, roll-call activity and current office statements. TrumpsMouth will add claim-specific vote explanations only when a particular vote or legislative action is actually part of a sourced claim.
