01 · Background
Who they are, where they came from
Ralph Warren Norman Jr. represents South Carolina's 5th congressional district, a seat he has held since June 2017. The district encompasses most of the South Carolina portion of the Charlotte metropolitan area, along with outer portions of the Upstate and Midlands regions. Before his election to Congress, Norman worked as a real estate developer and served in the South Carolina state legislature as the representative for the 48th district, with terms from 2005 to 2007 and again from 2009 to 2017. In the House, Norman has sponsored a joint resolution proposing a constitutional amendment to limit congressional terms (H.J.RES.12). His voting record includes opposition to continuing appropriations measures (H.R.5860, H.R.6363, H.R.7463, H.R.9747), the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2024 (H.R.2670), the FAA Reauthorization Act of 2024 (H.R.3935), and the Senator Elizabeth Dole 21st Century Veterans Healthcare and Benefits Improvement Act (S.141), among other legislation that became law. Across a range of enacted bills—spanning conservation programs, children's health research, aviation extensions, water resources, and congressional gold medals—Norman voted against final passage, doing so in opposition to the majority of his party in each instance.
