Candidate profile: Lee Jeh Cobb in Alabama’s 4th District

Lee Jeh Cobb is one of five candidates in the contested election for Alabama’s 4th Congressional District. The general election is scheduled for Nov. 3, 2026, with a Republican incumbent, another Republican, two Democrats and Cobb, whose party label is listed as “W,” in the race.

Cobb’s candidacy

Cobb is seeking a seat in the U.S. House representing Alabama’s 4th District. Cobb’s official candidate entry uses the label “W.” No expanded meaning for that label is listed, so it should not be read as a longer party name or affiliation.

Cobb has no candidate biography on file. That means the official entry does not establish details such as Cobb’s occupation, education, previous public service or place of residence.

There are also no documented policy positions on file for Cobb. The record therefore does not establish Cobb’s views on federal spending, taxes, health care, immigration, education, defense or other matters that may come before the U.S. House.

Cobb’s campaign finance figures list $648.81 raised and $525.67 spent. No cash-on-hand figure is listed.

The five-candidate field

Each candidate’s current entry includes a party label and campaign finance totals, but no biography or documented policy positions.

• Robert B. Aderholt, Republican: Aderholt is the incumbent. His campaign finance figures list $1,230,225.19 raised and $1,419,056.68 spent, with no cash-on-hand figure listed.
• Thomas Gary Barnes, Republican: Barnes is a Republican candidate. His campaign finance figures list $73,223.80 raised and $73,223.80 spent, with no cash-on-hand figure listed.
• Lee Jeh Cobb, W: Cobb is a candidate with the label “W.” Cobb’s campaign finance figures list $648.81 raised and $525.67 spent, with no cash-on-hand figure listed.
• Amanda Noelle Pusczek, Democrat: Pusczek is a Democratic candidate. Her campaign finance figures list $15,590.75 raised and $14,623.54 spent, with no cash-on-hand figure listed.
• Michael Shane Weaver, Democrat: Weaver is a Democratic candidate. His campaign finance figures list $7,520.31 raised and $5,535.88 spent, with no cash-on-hand figure listed.

These figures describe campaign fundraising and spending. They do not measure voter support, establish a candidate’s position on an issue or determine the result of the election.

What the office does

The winner of the general election will represent Alabama’s 4th District in the U.S. House. House members vote on federal legislation and serve as part of Congress, alongside the U.S. Senate.

This is a contested race because more than one candidate is seeking the office. Aderholt is running as the incumbent, meaning he currently holds the seat. The other four candidates are Barnes, Cobb, Pusczek and Weaver.

The listed party labels identify Aderholt and Barnes as Republicans, Pusczek and Weaver as Democrats, and Cobb as “W.” The label alone does not establish any candidate’s views on specific legislation or public policy.

What voters can track

The election is set for Nov. 3, 2026. Before then, voters can track whether candidates file biographies, publish positions on federal issues or update their campaign finance reports.

Future finance filings may change the totals raised and spent or add cash-on-hand figures. Candidate statements or official campaign materials may also clarify Cobb’s “W” label and give voters more information about the backgrounds and policy priorities of all five candidates.
