US Representative Mo Brooks (R-Huntsville) also won a fourth term in the US House of Representatives. Congressman Brooks defeated Will Boyd (D) 67 percent to 33 percent. Rep. Brooks got 204,607 votes in the fifth congressional district versus just 101,393 for Boyd .
In the Sixth Congressional District, US Representative Gary Palmer won a second term over David Puman 240,897 votes versus 81,296. Rep. Palmer got 75 percent of the vote and Putman got 25 percent.
Representatives Bradley Byrne (R-Montrose), Terri Sewell (D-Selma), and Robert Aderholt (R-Haleyville) did not have opponents.
As of press time it appeared that all fourteen of the statewide amendments had passed.
