AL-HD12: Four Republicans, one Democrat running in House District 12 special election

Four Republicans and one Democratic candidate qualified for the Alabama House District 12 special election in Cullman County.

Republican voters will have the choice between Heather Doyle, Clint Hollingsworth, Dan McWhorter and Cindy Myrex on July 15. The lone Democratic candidate, Matt Glover, will advance to the general election on Oct. 28 against the winner of the special election primary. If one Republican candidate does not receive 50% of votes, the special runoff election will take place on Aug. 12.

Former Rep. Corey Harbison, R-Cullman, resigned in April after he was absent for much of the 2025 legislative session. All interviewed candidates said they are running for office for Cullman County representation in Montgomery.

“You didn’t ask how anybody that lives there, how they felt about it,” Doyle said. “This is our community, like we live there. This is going to affect us.”
