The 1st district includes the entire Upper Peninsula of Michigan and part of the Lower Peninsula. The district, which makes up about 44% of the land area of the state of Michigan, is the second-largest congressional district east of the Mississippi River by land area. The incumbent was Republican Dan Benishek, who had represented the district since 2011. He was re-elected with 48% of the vote in 2012 and the district has a PVI of R+5.

Benishek was re-elected in 2012 with 48.14% of the total votes cast, defeating Democratic former State Representative Gary McDowell by less than 2,000 votes in a field where two third-party candidates received a combined 4.3 percent of the vote.{{cite web |url=http://miboecfr.nictusa.com/election/results/12GEN/06001000.html |title=2012 Official Michigan General Election Results: 1st District Representative in Congress |date=January 4, 2013 |access-date=August 9, 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130412112146/http://miboecfr.nictusa.com/election/results/12GEN/06001000.html |archive-date=April 12, 2013 |url-status=dead |df=mdy-all }} As of September 30, 2013, Benishek had raised $676,545.98, and had $500,163.86 cash on-hand toward a presumed re-election bid.{{cite web|url=http://query.nictusa.com/cgi-bin/dcdev/forms/C00476325/892187/|archive-url=https://archive.today/20131024162318/http://query.nictusa.com/cgi-bin/dcdev/forms/C00476325/892187/|url-status=dead|archive-date=October 24, 2013|title=FEC Disclosure Form 3 for Benishek for Congress, Inc.|work=Federal Election Commission|date=October 15, 2013|access-date=October 24, 2013}}

The 6th district is located in Southwest Michigan. The incumbent was Republican Fred Upton, who had represented the district since 1993 and previously represented the 4th district from 1987 to 1993. He was re-elected with 55% of the vote in 2012 and the district has a PVI of R+1.

As of September 30, 2013, Upton had raised $1,205,296.00 for the 2014 election cycle, and had $893,110.90 cash on-hand available for a presumed re-election bid.{{cite web|url=http://query.nictusa.com/cgi-bin/dcdev/forms/C00200584/891779/|archive-url=https://archive.today/20131024191016/http://query.nictusa.com/cgi-bin/dcdev/forms/C00200584/891779/|url-status=dead|archive-date=October 24, 2013|title=FEC Disclosure Form 3 for Upton For All of Us|work=Federal Election Commission|date=October 15, 2013|access-date=October 24, 2013}} Upton was challenged for the Republican primary nomination by registered nurse Jim Bussler.{{cite news|url=http://www.mlive.com/news/kalamazoo/index.ssf/2013/09/dowagiacs_jim_bussler_to_chall.html|title=Dowagiac's Jim Bussler to challenge U.S. Rep.

Upton's relatively disappointing performance in 2012 (winning with 55%, the smallest margin of his career, after outspending his opponent $4 million to $294,000), Clements' strong fundraising, and outside spending on behalf of Clements prompted speculation that Upton could suffer an upset loss. Even a close win for Upton could persuade him to retire, as happened with Republican Charles E. Chamberlain, who only narrowly defeated Democrat Milton Robert Carr in 1972, retiring in 1974 to be succeeded by Carr.{{cite news|url=http://www.toledoblade.com/JackLessenberry/2014/10/24/Quietly-a-Michigan-U-S-House-race-provides-suspense.html |title=Quietly, a Michigan U.S. House race provides suspense |publisher=Toledo Blade |author=Jack Lessenberry |date=October 24, 2014 |access-date=October 24, 2014}}

After his defeat, Bentivolio announced that he was running a write-in campaign. He alleged that after Trott won the primary, the Trott campaign "kept up the attacks, but they expanded it beyond me. After they won the race, they continued to beat up me, my family members, as well as my staff... I put them on notice: If they didn't stop I'm probably going to end up doing a write-in campaign. And they didn't stop." The Trott campaign has denied this, saying that "nothing like that occurred." Bentivolio does not think he will win, or even "get enough votes to keep [Trott] from getting elected... all I'm concerned about is getting people who want a voice through a protest vote to do a protest vote."{{cite web |url=http://atr.rollcall.com/elections-2014-kerry-bentivolio-write-in-campaign |title=Kerry Bentivolio to Wage Write-In Campaign |publisher=Roll Call |date=October 2, 2014 |access-date=October 3, 2014 |archive-date=October 5, 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141005191018/http://atr.rollcall.com/elections-2014-kerry-bentivolio-write-in-campaign/ |url-status=dead }}

The 14th district stretches from eastern Detroit westward to Farmington Hills, then north to the suburbs of Auburn Hills. The incumbent was Democrat Gary Peters, who had represented the district since 2013 and previously represented the 9th district from 2009 to 2013. He was re-elected with 82% of the vote in 2012 and the district has a PVI of D+29.

Peters did not run for re-election; he instead ran for the United States Senate seat being vacated by retiring Democrat Carl Levin in 2014.{{cite news|url=http://www.freep.com/article/20130501/NEWS15/305010092/gary-peters-carl-levin-us-senate-campaign|title=Congressman Gary Peters to run for retiring Sen.
