He was re-elected in 2012 with 100% of the vote, as no candidate filed to run against him. Alan LaPolice, a former school administrator, lost against incumbent Huelskamp in the Republican primary. Jim Sherow, city co-commissioner and former mayor of Manhattan, successfully received the Democratic nomination, defeating Bryan Whitney, a member of the 2013 class of Wichita State University who hardly campaigned. Unlike the other three congressional districts in Kansas, none of the candidates received endorsements from the local Kansas Farm Bureau and Kansas Livestock Association. The president of the Farm Bureau described this inability to endorse candidates as "reflect[ing] views at the grassroots level." http://www.hutchnews.com/news/local_state_news/farm-groups-don-t-back-anyone-in-st-district-race/article_67c808ad-ff0b-5459-a858-8135d9e06e79.html Farm groups don't back anyone in 1st District race Mary Clarkin July 11, 2014 May 5, 2019 Republican primary Candidates Nominee Tim Huelskamp, incumbent U.S. representative Eliminated in primary Alan LaPolice, former school administratorhttp://cjonline.com/news/2014-01-30/clyde-resident-says-hell-challenge-huelskamp-1st-district Clyde resident says he'll challenge Huelskamp in 1st District The Topeka Capital-Journal January 30, 2014 August 4, 2014 Withdrawn Kent Roth, attorney and former state representativehttp://gctelegram.com/news/Kent-Roth-Announcement-01-08-2014 Roth to run against Huelskamp Garden City Telegram Brooks Kelton January 8, 2014 August 4, 2014September 2019 InternetArchiveBot yes http://www.hutchnews.com/news/local_state_news/roth-withdraws-from-st-district-race/article_e51fe17c-a0c3-5df3-a520-24981993dabc.html Roth withdraws from 1st District race The Hutchinson News Green John May 23, 2014 August 4, 2014 Endorsements Tim Huelskamp Organizations FreedomWorksKatie Glueck FreedomWorks backs GOP favorites https://www.politico.com/story/2014/03/freedomworks-endorsements-tim-scott-mark-sanford-ted-yoho-104714 politico.com Politico 16 February 2023 17 March 2014 Polling Poll source Date(s)administered Samplesize Margin oferror TimHuelskamp AlanLaPolice UndecidedRemington Research GroupRemington Research Group July 29, 2014 1,539 ± 3.7% 50% 29% 21%The Polling Company (R-Huelskamp)The Polling Company (R-Huelskamp) June 2014 400 ± 4.2% 62% 12% 26% ^ Poll for the Tim Huelskamp campaign Results thumb|2014 Republican primary results by county #E27F7F Huelskamp #E27F7F 50–60% #D75D5D 60–70% #D72F30 70–80% #42B69F LaPolice #42B69F 50–60% #278F7A 60–70% Republican primary resultshttp://www.sos.ks.gov/elections/14elec/2014_Primary_Election_Results_OFFICIAL.pdf 2014 Primary Election Official Vote Totals Kansas Secretary of State 28 August 2014 Tim Huelskamp (incumbent) Republican Party (United States) 42,847 55.0 Alan LaPolice Republican Party (United States) 35,108 45.0 77,955 100.0 Democratic primary Candidates Nominee Jim Sherow, history professor at Kansas State University and former mayor of Manhattanhttp://kansasfirstnews.com/2014/02/14/former-manhattan-mayor-declares-candidacy-for-congress/ Former Manhattan mayor declares candidacy for congress Kansas First News Dulle Brian February 14, 2014 August 4, 2014 https://web.archive.org/web/20140803152521/http://kansasfirstnews.com/2014/02/14/former-manhattan-mayor-declares-candidacy-for-congress/ August 3, 2014 deadhttp://www2.ljworld.com/weblogs/elections2014/2014/mar/15/second-democrat-announces-in-1st-distric/ Second Democrat announces in 1st District Lawrence Journal-World Hancock Peter March 15, 2014 August 4, 2014 https://web.archive.org/web/20140814105037/http://www2.ljworld.com/weblogs/elections2014/2014/mar/15/second-democrat-announces-in-1st-distric August 14, 2014 live Eliminated in primary Bryan Whitney, college student Results Democratic primary results Jim Sherow Democratic Party (United States) 8,209 65.6 Bryan R.
