The incumbent, [[Democratic-NPL]] Congressman [[Earl Pomeroy]] was re-elected to his seventh term, defeating [[North Dakota Republican Party|Republican]] candidate [[Duane Sand]].
Only Pomeroy filed as a Dem-NPLer, and the endorsed Republican candidate was [[Duane Sand]], who had previously faced Democrat [[Kent Conrad]] in 2000 for North Dakota's Senate seat [[North Dakota U.S. Senate election, 2000|(see election)]]. Pomeroy and Sand won the primary elections for their respective parties.<ref>North Dakota Secretary of State, [http://web.apps.state.nd.us/sec/emspublic/gp/electionresultssearch.htm?cmd=Search&searchType=STATE&electionDate=11022004&showMap=N] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080213200550/http://web.apps.state.nd.us/sec/emspublic/gp/electionresultssearch.htm?cmd=Search&searchType=STATE&electionDate=11022004&showMap=N |date=2008-02-13 }}</ref>
Although Sand ran an aggressive campaign, it was not as aggressive as that of [[Rick Clayburgh]] who had faced the congressman in the previous election. On June 26, [[Party leaders of the United States House of Representatives|U.S. House Majority Leader]] [[Tom DeLay]] visited [[Fargo, North Dakota]] to campaign for Sand.<ref>[http://www.in-forum.com/archive/purchases/?page=view&type=active_paper&id=132219 In-Forum<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref>
