Voters Head To The Polls Today In Escambia Alabama
April 14, 2009
Voters in eight southwest Alabama counties, including Escambia, will head to the polls today in a special election to begin the process of filling the state senate seat vacated when Sen. Pat Lindsey died in January.
Three Republicans will be on today’s primary ballot — Danny Joyner, a Brewton businessman; Greg Albritton, a former state representative from Range; and Judy Belk, a Citronelle businesswoman. The Republican winner will face Democrat state Rep. Marc Keahey of Grove Hill, the only Democrat in the race.
Polls will be open in Escambia County, Ala., from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
If one of the three Republicans does not emerge as the clearcut majority winner, there will be a runoff on June 2. The election between the Republican nominee and Keahey will be July 21.
The winner will fill Lindsey’s term in the Alabama Senate until November 2010. The job pays $52,646 plus expenses.
