Incumbent Republican Senator Jeff Sessions, who has served in the position since 1997, ran for re-election to a fourth term in office. He was the only candidate to file before the deadline and as such he was unopposed in the Republican primary election and in the general election.[1] This was the only uncontested 2014 election for the United States Senate.
Sessions was re-elected with 97.25% of the vote. The remaining votes were write-ins.
