It also includes parts of Lauderdale and Tuscaloosa counties, as well as parts of the Decatur Metropolitan Area and the Huntsville-Decatur Combined Statistical Area.

It is currently represented by Republican Robert Aderholt. In the 2016 presidential election, the district was the only one in the country to give Republican nominee Donald Trump more than 80% of the vote, making it his strongest district in the country.
