0 days until Election Day November 3, 2026

Alabama's 4th Congressional District covers much of north-central and northwestern Alabama, including Cullman, Jasper, and parts of the Shoals area. Incumbent Republican Robert Aderholt, first elected in 1996, is seeking a 15th term in this heavily Republican district (Cook PVI: R+33). He will face Democratic nominee Amanda Pusczek, a registered nurse who won a competitive two-way primary on May 19, 2026. The race is not expected to be competitive; Aderholt's long incumbency, strong fundraising advantage, and the district's Republican lean make him the overwhelming favorite in the November 3, 2026 general election.
