Incumbent: The incumbent heading into the election was Rick Berg (R), who was first elected in 2010. Berg did not run for re-election. Instead, he is sought election to the U.S. Senate, and was defeated.

North Dakota has a single at-large congressional district, which is made up of the entire state.

According to the Washington Post, North Dakota was a battleground district in 2012, with incumbent Rick Berg running for Senate and Republicans duking it out in the primary. Democrat Pam Gulleson vastly out-raised the Republican candidates, and had a "fighting chance" in a conservative state.^[3]

Heading into the November 6 election, the Republican Party held the one Congressional seat from North Dakota.
