During the 2004 United States House of Representatives elections in North Carolina, Democratic incumbent David Price snagged almost two-thirds of the 4th District votes for his eighth election win.
Price first entered Congress in 1987 after defeating one-term Republican U.S. Price won re-election in 1988 and 1990 with 58%. In 1992, he won re-election with 65%. In 1996, Price defeated Heineman in a rematch 54% to 44%. The district has since reverted to form, and Price won re-election by wide margins in 1998 (57%), 2000 (62%), 2002 (61%), 2004 (64%), and 2006 (65%).
