The 2014 United States House of Representatives elections in North Carolina will be held on Tuesday, November 4, 2014 to elect the 13 U.S. Representatives from the state of North Carolina, one from each of the state's 13 congressional districts. The elections coincided with other elections to the United States Senate and House of Representatives and various state and local elections, including an election to the U.S. Senate.

Primary elections were held on Tuesday, May 6, 2014. In primaries in which no candidate won more than 40% of the vote (the Democratic primary in the 5th district and the Republican primary in the 6th district), second primary elections (runoffs) were held between the top two candidates on July 15, 2014.[1]

District 1

The 1st district is located in Northeastern North Carolina and includes towns such as Durham, Elizabeth City, Henderson, Roanoke Rapids, Rocky Mount, Goldsboro and New Bern. The incumbent is Democrat G. K. Butterfield, who has represented the district since 2004. He was re-elected with 75% of the vote in 2012 and the district has a PVI of D+19.

Democratic primary

Dan Whittacre, who ran against Butterfield in the Democratic primary in 2012, did so again.[2]

District 2

The 2nd district is located in central North Carolina and includes all or parts of Alamance, Chatham, Cumberland, Harnett, Hoke, Lee, Moore, and Wake counties. The incumbent is Republican Renee Ellmers, who has represented the district since 2011. She was re-elected with 56% of the vote in 2012 and the district has a PVI of R+10.

Republican primary

Ellmers had considered running for the U.S. Senate[7] but is instead running for re-election. Jim Duncan, the chairman of the Chatham County Republican Party and co-founder of the grassroots organization The Coalition for American Principles, considered a run against Ellmers in the primary,[8] but decided against it.[9] Frank Roche, a conservative internet talk show host and lecturer in economics at Elon University, who ran for District 4 in 2010 and for North Carolina State Treasurer in 2012 ran against Ellmers in the primary.[10][11]

Democratic primary

Three Democrats ran for their party's nomination: singer, actor and activist Clay Aiken,[12][13] former North Carolina Secretary of Commerce Keith Crisco[14] and counselor and candidate for the seat in 2012 Toni Morris.[2][15] Attorney Houston Barnes at first announced that he would run in the Democratic primary as well,[16] but he later withdrew before filing and announced that he would support Aiken.[17]

Democratic Keith Crisco 11,288 39.49

Total votes 28,582 100

The results were too close to call even a week later, with Crisco only narrowly behind Aiken, who was only just above the 40% necessary to avoid a runoff.[18] As both candidates were waiting for the results to be certified (this was to be done May 13, 2014), Crisco died suddenly on May 12, after suffering a fall in his home.[18][19] He was 71.[18] Though Crisco had initially said he would not concede,[20] he changed his mind and had planned to concede on May 13.[21]
