As the Democrats did not field a candidate, he was the only candidate to file before the deadline and was therefore unopposed in the Republican primary election and only faced write-in opposition in the general election.https://blog.al.com/wire/2014/02/democrats_pick_up_a_handful_of.html#incart_river Democrats pick up a handful of candidates; governor only contested statewide race in primary AL.com February 7, 2014 February 10, 2014 Mike Cason Sessions was re-elected with 97.25% of the vote with the remaining votes being write-ins.
