{"biography":"Joseph \"Joe\" Patrick Pike is the incumbent Republican member of the North Carolina House of Representatives for District\u202f6, covering all of Franklin County and part of Granville County. He is seeking re\u2011election in the November\u202f3,\u202f2026 general election, after winning the March\u202f3,\u202f2026 Republican primary with 53.3\u202f% of the vote against Bill Morris [1].\n\nThe North Carolina Constitution requires state House members to be qualified voters, to have lived in the district for at least one year before the election, and to be at least 21 years old [2]. Representatives serve two\u2011year terms with no term limits and are paid a salary of $13,951 per year plus a $104 per\u2011day per diem [2].\n\nPike earned his bachelor\u2019s degree (details not listed in the sources) and built a career as a business owner. He is the president of Twisted Grape Investments Inc., a venture he continues to run while serving in the legislature [4][8][11].\n\nSince first taking office on January\u202f1,\u202f2023, Pike has been assigned to several key committees, including the Alcoholic Beverage Control, Commerce, House Finance, Pensions and Retirement, and State Government committees for the 2023\u20112024 session [1]. He has introduced a range of legislation, notably HB\u202f9 (Firearm Discharge/Preempt Local Ordinance) and HB\u202f42 (Back the Blue Pay Act) in 2025, as well as bills on veteran tax relief, small\u2011business insurance access, and election\u2011related reforms such as HB\u202f66 (Reduce Early Voting Period) [5].\n\nIn the 2024 general election, Pike defeated Democratic challenger Kiara Johnson with 60.6\u202f% of the vote (24,190 votes) [1]. He again secured the Republican nomination in 2026, beating Bill Morris 2,120 to 1,859 votes, and will face Democrat Tony Spears in the November contest [1].\n\nPike\u2019s public profile includes a legislative office at 300\u202fN. Salisbury Street, Room\u202f542, Raleigh, NC\u202f27603\u20115925, and a mailing address identical to the office location. The North Carolina General Assembly\u2019s official biography lists his email and phone fields as blank, indicating no publicly posted contact details [4][6][7].\n\nHis campaign materials and public statements emphasize support for small\u2011business interests, consistent with his background as a business owner and his endorsement by the NFIB North Carolina PAC for the 2024 cycle [19].\n\n## Sources\n- [1] [Joe Pike - Ballotpedia](https://ballotpedia.org/Joe_Pike)\n- [2] [North Carolina House of Representatives District 6 - Ballotpedia](https://ballotpedia.org/North_Carolina_House_of_Representatives_District_6)\n- [3] [North Carolina elections, 2026 - Ballotpedia](https://ballotpedia.org/North_Carolina_elections,_2026)\n- [4] [Representative Joseph Pike - Biography - North Carolina General Assembly](https://www.ncleg.gov/Members/DistrictRepresentation/H/6)\n- [5] [Representative Joseph Pike's Introduced Bills - North Carolina General Assembly](https://www.ncleg.gov/Members/IntroducedBills/H/808)\n- [6] [Representative Joseph Pike - Biography - North Carolina General Assembly](https://www3.ncleg.gov/Members/Biography/h/808)\n- [7] [Representative Joseph Pike - Biography - North Carolina General Assembly](https://www.ncleg.gov/Members/Biography/H/808)\n- [8] [Joe Pike - Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Pike)\n- [9] [Joe Pike (politician)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Pike_(politician))\n- [11] [Vote Smart | Facts For All](https://justfacts.votesmart.org/candidate/biography/202667/joe-pike)\n- [14] [See the full list of candidates running in North Carolina's ...](https://www.facebook.com/thecharlotteobserver/posts/see-the-full-list-of-candidates-running-in-north-carolinas-2026-electionsread-mo/1306299098202723/)\n- [15] [North Carolina State Rep.
