In 2002, rather than seeking a third term in the state House, Pringle ran unsuccessfully for the District 1 seat from Alabama in the [[United States House of Representatives]], having been defeated by [[Jo Bonner]] (male), who went on to succeed Sonny Callahan as U.S. representative. In 2006, as a former representative, Pringle ran unsuccessfully for the District 34 seat in the Alabama State Senate. In 2014, when the incumbent Republican Representative declined to seek reelection, Pringle rebounded with a 63.8 percent victory over intra-party rival Don Hembree in the Republican [[primary]] for House District 101. He was then unopposed in the November 4 [[general election]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://ballotpedia.org/Chris_Pringle|title=Chris Pringle's|publisher=Ballotpedia.org|accessdate=October 22, 2017}}</ref>
