Dent was unopposed in the Republican primary and will not face a Democratic opponent in the general election as none filed before the deadline. David A. Clarke had considered running, but decided against it. Rick Daugherty, chairman of the Lehigh County Democratic Party and the nominee for the seat in 2012, declined a re-match because of "family and professional responsibilities". He is instead considering running in 2016.[95]
