Vance Michael McAllister Sr. (born January 7, 1974) is an American businessman and Republican former member of the United States House of Representatives from Louisiana's 5th congressional district. He won a special runoff election held on November 16, 2013, for the seat vacated by fellow Republican Rodney Alexander.
On April 8, 2014, the day after information about an affair was posted, McAllister said that he planned to run for re-election. On April 28, 2014, he announced that he would serve out his term and not run for re-election. However, he later changed his mind and ran for re-election, for a full term. He did not survive the "top two" primary, receiving 11.1 percent of the vote, and so was not in the runoff election on December 6.
