Incumbent Roby will face Bobby Bright-- a former congressman she defeated in 2010-- in a runoff next month. Bright served one term in Congress as a Democrat, but switched parties to run against Roby in this year's Republican primary.

She has served four terms in Congress.




In 2016, Roby said she wouldn't vote for Trump after the Access Hollywood tape was made public, where Trump talked about grabbing women's body parts.

She said in a statement, "As disappointed as I've been with his antics throughout this campaign, I thought supporting the nominee was the best thing for our country and our party. Now it is abundantly clear that the best thing for our country and our party is for Trump to step aside and allow a responsible, respectable Republican to lead the ticket," she said.
