Robert Brown Aderholt[1] (/ˈædərˌhoʊlt/ AD-ər-hohlt; born July 22, 1965) is an American politician and attorney serving as the U.S. representative for Alabama's 4th congressional district since 1997. He is a member of the Republican Party. The district includes most of Tuscaloosa County north of the Black Warrior River, as well as Birmingham's far northern suburbs in Walker County and the southern suburbs of Huntsville and Decatur.
A social conservative, Aderholt was a member of the Tea Party Caucus.[2] He became the dean of Alabama's congressional delegation following Senator Richard Shelby's retirement at the end of the 117th Congress.[3] According to the Cook Partisan Voting Index, Aderholt represents the most Republican district in the country, with an index rating of R+33.[4]
