Three Republicans have qualified for a special election in House District 13, which covers part of Walker County. Republican voters will choose between Greg Barnes, Dustin Beaty and Mike Elliot on Sept.

Qualifying has ended and the field of candidates is set for the city of Northport’s Aug. 26 municipal election. Four candidates have qualified in the mayor’s race. The winner will succeed John Hinton, who decided not to run for a full term.

Tommy Tuberville's run for governor opens up a U.S. Senate seat, while 105 state legislative seats are also up for grabs.

Myrex and Hollingsworth will face each other in a runoff on Aug. 12. The winner of the special primary runoff will face Democratic nominee Matt Glover, a 40-year-old parts manager at a poultry plan and former Good Hope City Councilman. Glover said in an interview Tuesday night he is not surprised that Hollingsworth and Myrex are in a runoff.

Ensler won the seat in 2022 against Republican Charlotte Meadows with 60% of votes, according to election results. The seat had been held by Republicans since 2002, according to election records. It was the first Democratic flip of a Republican-held seat in the Alabama Legislature since 2010.
