[constituency_baseline] District summary: Alabama's 3rd Congressional District covers east-central Alabama, encompassing Calhoun County (Anniston, Oxford), Talladega County (home of Talladega Superspeedway), Cleburne, Clay, Randolph, Chambers, Lee (Auburn), and Russell counties, along with portions of adjacent counties. The district's economy is defined by two primary anchors: the Anniston Army Depot — the Army's largest wheeled and tracked vehicle overhaul facility with approximately 4,000 civilian employees in Calhoun County — and Auburn University (Lee County), one of Alabama's flagship research universities with approximately 24,000 students and significant agricultural extension and engineering research programs. AL-03 also includes significant tier-two automotive parts manufacturing tied to Honda's Lincoln County plant (adjacent) and Hyundai's Montgomery complex (nearby), a substantial textile and apparel legacy base in decline, and Talladega Superspeedway's NASCAR event economy. The district is strongly Republican — Cook PVI approximately R+28 — and predominantly rural and small-city outside of the Anniston and Auburn metro cores. Rogers has represented the district since 2003.
