GROVE HILL, Ala. (AP) - Democratic state Rep. Marc Keahey of Grove Hill is the apparent winner of the contest to fill the District 22 seat in the Alabama state Senate.
With only a handful of precincts not yet reporting, Keahey had nearly 8,200 votes to about 5,500 for former Republican state Rep. Greg Albritton of Range in the special election Tuesday.
Keahey replaces Democratic state Sen. Pat Lindsey of Butler, who died in January.
District 22 in southwest Alabama includes all of Escambia and Washington counties and parts of Baldwin, Choctaw, Clarke, Conecuh, Mobile and Monroe counties.
