Dale Strong (R) and Casey Wardynski (R) advanced to a Republican primary runoff on June 21, 2022. Six candidates ran in the Republican primary for Alabama's 5th Congressional District on May 24, 2022. Republican Rep. Mo Brooks represented this district for more than a decade. In 2022, he ran for the U.S. Senate rather than seeking re-election, creating an open seat. Brooks did not make an endorsement in this race.[1][2][3]
According to the primary election results, Strong earned 45% of the vote, followed by Wardynski with 23%, Roberts with 14%, and Sanford with 11%. In Alabama, a candidate must receive over 50% of the vote to advance directly to the general election. Since no candidate received a majority on May 24, the top two vote-getters (Strong and Wardynski) advanced to a June 21 runoff election.
Strong served as the chairman of the Madison County Commission in 2022 and has held this position since 2012. He was a volunteer firefighter and emergency medical technician (EMT) in the Monrovia area. Strong described himself as “a pro-life Christian who will stand up for the unborn and fight for our Christian values.”[4] He said, “These values are under attack today by those who want to control what we read on social media and what our children are taught in school.”[5][4]Strong was the first candidate to enter this primary race and held the lead in polling and fundraising in the weeks before the election.[2][3]
Wardynski served as the assistant secretary of the Army for manpower and reserve affairs under former President Donald Trump (R) from 2019 to 2020. He also served as the superintendent of Huntsville city schools from 2011 to 2016. Wardynski described himself as “a proud, pro-Trump conservative Republican who answered the call when President Trump asked me to be his Assistant Secretary of the Army.” He said, “I am committed to advancing the America First Agenda. I am not afraid to take on The Swamp and the special interests who fought President Trump at every turn. I will fight Joe Biden when he tries to roll back the progress created under President Trump.”[6][7]
Roberts served as the business retention & expansion director for the Huntsville/Madison County Chamber of Commerce from 2019 to 2021. Roberts touted his lack of political experience and listed economic development and educational opportunity as his top priorities if elected. He also described himself as a defender of the American Dream. Roberts said, “we must work every day to protect it. I still believe that personal responsibility and hard work matter, and I will not let the next generation be taught that you’re predestined to succeed or fail based on your skin color or socioeconomic status. The American Dream is made possible by the equality of opportunity, not equality of outcome.”[8][9]
Sanford was a former Huntsville restaurant owner who served in the Alabama State Senate from 2009 to 2018. Sanford's campaign highlighted his legislative experience and what they said was his proven conservative track record. Sanford cited his background as a small business owner as his motivation to advocate for small businesses, pro-business policies, and removing unnecessary governmental oversight and red tape. Sanford described his economic approach as follows: “Common sense conservative solutions are needed to reignite the economic growth we experienced under President Trump.”[10][11]
Andy Blalock and Harrison Wright were also candidates in this Republican primary.
Before the primary, the Cook Political Report, Sabato's Crystal Ball, and Inside Elections all rated Alabama's 5th Congressional District as a solid/safe Republican seat. This meant that the winner of the Republican primary was almost certain to win the general election as well.

America needs term limits to eliminate career politicians and to return power from Washington elites to the citizens
My heart has enough room for everyone. I welcome diversity and demand transparency. America is united when we stand true to the constitution and approach legislation with common sense principles.

Investing in workforce education
Strengthening our communities
I am concerned that big tech and mainstream media along with the two major parties of the political system are dividing Americans for political power and entertainment ratings.
We must fix our immigration problem and our work force shortage due to government handouts and the push for socialism.

- Likely ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge, but an upset is possible.
- Lean ratings indicate that one party has a small edge, but the race is competitive.[12]
- Toss-up ratings indicate that neither party has an advantage.

Post-filing deadline analysis
The following analysis covers all U.S. House districts up for election in Alabama in 2022. Information below was calculated on April 28, 2022, and may differ from information shown in the table above due to candidate replacements and withdrawals after that time.
In 2022, 22 candidates ran for Alabama’s seven U.S. House districts, including 13 Republicans and eight Democrats. That’s 3.14 candidates per district, less than the 3.57 candidates per district in 2020 and 3.28 in 2018.
This was the first election to take place under new district lines following the 2020 census. Alabama was apportioned the same number of congressional districts as after the 2010 census.
One district — the 5th — was open, with incumbent Rep. Mo Brooks (R) running for the U.S. Senate. Brooks was first elected in 2010 after defeating Steve Raby (D) 57.9% to 42.1%. The open seat in 2022 was one more than in 2012, the previous post-redistricting election year. There were two open seats in 2020, no open seats in 2018 and 2016, and one open seat in 2014.
There were three contested Democratic primaries and two contested Republican primaries. Five incumbents - four Republicans and one Democrat - didn't face any primary challengers. Two districts — the 1st and the 6th — were guaranteed to Republicans since no Democrats filed for election. There were no districts guaranteed to Democrats because no Republicans filed. Eight candidates — two Democrats and six Republicans — ran in the 5th district, more than in any other.
Presidential elections
Partisan Voter Index
Heading into the 2022 elections, based on results from the 2020 and 2016 presidential elections, the Cook Partisan Voter Index for this district was R+17. This meant that in those two presidential elections, this district's results were 17 percentage points more Republican than the national average. This made Alabama's 5th the 66th most Republican district nationally.[23]
2020 presidential election results
