James Daniel Bishop (born July 1, 1964) is an American attorney and politician serving as the U.S.
Representative for North Carolina's 9th congressional district since 2019.
He also served in the North Carolina State Senate from 2017-2019.
A Republican, his district includes south-central Mecklenburg, Union, Anson, Richmond, Scotland, Robeson, Bladen, and Cumberland counties.
He previously served in the North Carolina House of Representatives from 2015 to 2017, and the Mecklenburg County Commission from 2005 to 2009. Bishop was the lead author of North Carolina's so-called "bathroom bill" which prohibited transgender individuals from using public restrooms other than those by their biological sex as defined on their birth certificates.
The bill was signed into law.
It created public backlash and was subsequently overruled by a federal judge in Asheville in a ruling affirmed by the United States Supreme Court. Bishop won the 2019 special election to the U.S.
House of Representatives with 50.7% of the vote to Dan McCready's 48.7% on September 10, 2019.
He took office on September 17, 2019.
