According to a Washington Post article in December 2012, incumbent Ron Barber (D) is one of the 10 most vulnerable incumbents in 2014.[3]

The National Republican Congressional Committee listed Barber's seat as one of seven early targets in the 2014 congressional elections.[4] The seven targets align perfectly with the seven most Republican districts currently held by Democrats, according to FairVote's partisanship index. Barber's district ranks as the 7th most Republican (46% D).[5]
