The 2014 United States House of Representatives elections in Alabama took place on November 4, 2014. Voters elected the 7 U.S. Representatives from the state of Alabama. The elections coincided with the elections of other offices, including the Governor of Alabama.
Primary elections were held on June 3, 2014. Primary runoffs, necessary if no candidate won a majority of the vote, were held on 15 July.
Republican Bradley Byrne won the December 2013 special election held after the resignation of Jo Bonner. He was originally believed to be running for re-election unopposed, but Burton LeFlore, his Democratic opponent in the 2013 special election, managed to qualify.
Republican Martha Roby has represented the district since being elected in 2010. She faced Democrat Erick Wright, the only other candidate to file for the office.
Republican Mike D. Rogers has represented the district since being elected in 2002. He defeated challenger Thomas Casson in the Republican primary. Democrat Jesse T. Smith is also running.
Republican Robert Aderholt has represented the district since being elected in 1996. He was challenged in the Republican primary by Thomas E. Drake II. No Democrat filed for the office.
Republican Mo Brooks has represented the district since being elected in 2010, after defeating the incumbent, party switching Democrat-turned-Republican Parker Griffith, in the Republican primary. Griffith ran again in the Republican primary in 2012, and Brooks won again. Supporters of Griffith circulated petitions to get Griffith on the ballot as an independent. He considered doing so, but instead rejoined the Democratic Party and is running for Governor. No Democrat filed to run. Brooks defeated challenger Jerry Hill in the Republican primary. Mark Bray is challenging Brooks as an independent candidate. Reggie Hill is running as a write-in candidate.
