Franks won re-election to a 7th term with 76% of the vote.

On a different issue, Franks inserted himself into the national dialogue with this comment:   “The incidence of rape resulting in pregnancy are very low.”

For more information:  The claim that the incidence of rape resulting in pregnancy is ‘very low’.  (Washington Post, 6/13/2013)
 
No Friend to the Environment dishonor roll.

Alabama Congressional delegation:  U.S. House of Representatives.   (Their anti-environmentalism can be summed up in one word:  coal.  Which is odd, since Alabama contributes a mere 1.9% of U.S. production, good enough for an overall ranking of 13.  The state's peak year of production:  1990)

  • At-large District.  Don Young (R).   Ridiculed environmentalists as a “self-centered bunch of waffle-stomping, Harvard-graduating, intellectual idiots.....not Americans, never have been Americans, never will be Americans.”
