Albritton Wins GOP Nomination For Alabama Senate Seat
April 15, 2009
Greg Albritton won Tuesday’s Republican primary for a state senate seat representing eight Alabama counties, including Escambia. He will face Democratic candidate Marc Keahey of Grove Hill for the District 22 seat left vacant early this year by the death of Sen. Pat Lindsey.
Elections officials said that voter turnout was dismal Tuesday, with under 7 percent of registered voters heading to the polls.
Albritton, a former state representative from Range, won each of the eight counties in the district except Mobile. In Mobile County, Citronelle businesswoman Judy Belk came out on top. Overall, the state GOP says Albritton received 57 percent of the vote, beating Belk and Danny Joyner, a Brewton businessman.
The general election for the seat that pays $52,646 plus expenses will take place June 2.
