|
Incumbent Republican Scott DesJarlais, who had represented the district since 2011, ran for re-election.
DesJarlais was considered one of the most vulnerable Congressmen after revelations emerged in October 2012 that he had prescribed drugs to a patient with whom he was having an affair, and had pressured his former wife and former mistress to have several abortions. He was re-elected in 2012 with a reduced majority. [10]
State Senator Jim Tracy challenged DesJarlais in the primary. [11] As of the end of June 2013, Tracy had raised nearly $750,000 (including over $300,000 in the second quarter of 2013) for his bid. [12] He raised an additional $150,000 in the fourth quarter and reported $840,000 cash-on-hand. [10] By contrast, at the end of September, DesJarlais reported $170,000 cash-on-hand. [10]
Despite his vulnerabilities, in the final days before the August 7 primary, DesJarlais seemed to have a chance at holding onto his seat, according to GOP operatives who thought voters had forgiven his poor behavior. [13]

---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Right Way Marketing (R-DesJarlais) [19] | June 5–6, 2014 | 1,337 | – | 45% | 20% | 5% | 30% |
After all precincts reported, DesJarlais led Tracy by just 33 votes, which widened to 38 after provisional ballots were counted. Tracy contemplated a challenge to the election. However, the Monday after the election, he issued a statement conceding to DesJarlais, saying, "A contest would not be the right thing for the Republican party and the conservative cause in Tennessee."
