District 2 Seeking a seventh term in Congress, incumbent Republican Congressman Terry Everett easily defeated Democratic nominee, Chuck James, in this very conservative district based in the suburbs of Montgomery and southeastern Alabama with 71 percent of the vote.
District 3 This district, stretching from north to south on the eastern edge of Alabama, incumbent Mike Rogers wins re-election to a second term.
District 4 In this north Alabama district incumbent representative Robert Aderholt wins re-election to a 5th term with almost 75 percent of the vote.
District 5 This district, found on the northernmost edge of Alabama, had not elected a Republican to Congress since Reconstruction, despite its strong proclivity towards Republican candidates at the national level and the socially conservative views of its residents. Long-time incumbent Democratic Congressman Bud Cramer won with over 70 percent of the vote.
District 6 This district, considered by the Cook 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 the Birmingham suburbs. To that effect, incumbent Republican Congressman Spencer Bachus won a seventh term in Congress with no opponents.
District 7 Incumbent Democratic Congressman Artur Davis sought a third term in this very liberal district that is mainly rooted in western Alabama but reaches into some portions of Birmingham.
