Before his declaration of candidacy for Congress in June 2014, Dasher had never before sought political office.​

On June 16, Dasher announced his candidacy for the seat held by the short-term [[incumbent]], his fellow Republican Vance McAllister of Swartz, located northeast of Monroe in Ouachita Parish. In Louisiana's nonpartisan blanket primary, all candidates compete together on one ballot regardless of party affiliation. Since no candidate obtained a majority vote on November 4, the top two candidates entered a December 6 runoff election, officially called the [[general election]]. Two other Republicans, Ed Tarpley, the former district attorney for Grant Parish, and small businessman Andrew Harris Brown (born June 1965) of Monroe, the son of a former state senator, were the first candidates to enter the race. Other Republicans who ran, included the victorious [[Ralph Abraham]], a [[physician]] and a former [[veterinarian]] from Mangham in Richland Parish and former U.S. Representative and then Louisiana Public Service Commissioner Clyde Cecil Holloway (1943-2016) of Forest Hill in south Rapides Parish. Only one [[Democratic Party|Democrat]], [[Mayor]] Jamie Mayo of Monroe, an [[African-American]], ran for the seat. Mayo had also been a candidate in the 2013 [[special election]] for the seat won by Vance McAllister. The ballot further included [[Green Party]] candidate Eliot S. Barron of [[New Orleans]], who lived outside the district, and [[Libertarian Party|Libertarian]] Charles Saucier of Ponchatoula in Tangipahoa Parish in southeastern Louisiana.<ref name="news-star">{{cite web|url= http://www.thenewsstar.com/story/news/politics/2014/08/11/duck-dynasty-cousin-leads-th-district-fund-raising/13889249/|title=Challengers swamp McAllister in fundraising|publisher=''The Monroe News-Star''|date=September 15, 2014 |accessdate=February 19, 2020|author=[[Greg Hilburn]]}}</ref>​
