Born in Fallon, Nevada, Heinrich lived much of his adulthood in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and maintains a residence there along with his work residence in Silver Spring, Maryland.

He was reelected in 2018, receiving 54% of the vote in a three-way race. Since the beginning of the 118th Congress, Heinrich has chaired the Joint Economic Committee, having previously served as vice chair.
