This district, stretching from north to south on the eastern edge ofAlabama, is Republican-leaning, but not so much as the other Republican-controlled districts. In that spirit, incumbent Republican CongressmanMike D. Rogers, seeking a third term in Congress, was re-elected over Democratic opponent Greg Pierce and independent challenger Mark Layfield, albeit by the thinnest margin of any member of the Alabama congressional delegation.
In this northAlabama district, the fifth-most conservative in the United States, incumbent Republican CongressmanRobert Aderholt won a sixth term in Congress over Democratic nominee Barbara Bobo, defeating her with over seventy percent of the vote.
This district, found on the northernmost edge of Alabama, had not elected a Republican to Congress sinceReconstruction, despite its strong proclivity towards Republican candidates at the national level and the socially conservative views of its residents. Long-time incumbent Democratic CongressmanBud Cramer had an especially easy time seeking a ninth term in Congress, with no opponents.
This district, considered by theCook Partisan Voting Index to be the most conservative congressional district in the country, owes its strong allegiance to Republicans to tapping the highly conservative residents of theBirmingham suburbs. To that effect, incumbent Republican CongressmanSpencer Bachus won an eighth term in Congress with no opponents.
Incumbent Democratic CongressmanArtur Davis sought a third term in this very liberal district that is mainly rooted in westernAlabama but reaches into some portions ofBirmingham.
