2014 elections review: "Accidental congressman" becomes third representative to lose primary this cycle

August 6, 2014

By Ballotpedia's Congressional team

Despite the media attention surrounding a handful of primaries on Tuesday night, only one incumbent lost his bid for re-election. Rep. Kerry Bentivolio (R) was defeated in Michigan's 11th District Republican primary by popular businessman Dave Trott.

Rep. Bentivolio, often referred to as the "accidental congressman" because of how he won election in 2012, was predicted to have a tough primary election. After putting up slim fundraising numbers and spending very little time in the district. Meanwhile, Dave Trott, a top Michigan foreclosure lawyer, contributed close to $2.5 million of his own money for the campaign. Trott nearly doubled the number of votes Bentivolio received on Tuesday's election. Bentivolio is only the third incumbent to lose in a primary election this cycle. Ralph Hall (R-TX) and Eric Cantor (R-VA) both faced primary defeats.

As of Wednesday morning, the Democratic primary for Michigan's 14th District had yet to be officially called with Brenda Lawrence leading her closest competitor, Rudy Hobbs, by less than 1,500 votes.

Voters in Washington's 1st District and 7th District overwhelmingly supported incumbents Suzan DelBene (D) and Jim McDermott (D) in the blanket primary. It is unclear, however, who their challengers will be in the general election. With 50% of the precincts in Washington’s 1st District reporting, Robert Sutherland (R) is currently the second highest vote-getter with 13,626 votes and Pedro Celis (R) is close behind with 12,906 votes. With 59% of the precincts in the 7th District reporting, Craig Keller (R) is currently the second highest vote-getter with 10,510 votes and Scott Sutherland (R) is close behind with 7,673 votes.

In Kansas, incumbents made it through some potentially challenging races to continue on the path for re-election. In the Senate race, Pat Roberts held off multiple challengers, including tea party backed candidate Milton Wolf.

The election will fill the Senate seat currently held by Pat Roberts (R). Roberts was first elected in 1996. He is seeking a fourth term in 2014.

Roberts faced a primary challenge from Milton Wolf, D.J. Smith and Alvin Zahnter. Wolf, a tea party candidate and physician, ran as a more conservative alternative to Roberts who was re-elected with 60% of the vote in 2008.

Roberts was criticized after it was revealed that he did not own a home in Kansas. Many compared the situation to that of former Sen. Richard Lugar, who lost a 2012 Senate primary after a similar residency controversy. Unlike Lugar, Roberts was able to win the nomination in the primary.
