Republican Bryan Brinyark defeated Democratic candidate John Underwood 2,370 - 469 in the Jan. 9 special general election to win the vacant Alabama House of Representative District 16 seat. The seat became vacant when former representative, Kyle South, resigned to take the President and CEO position with the Chamber of Commerce of West Alabama.
The special Republican primary election to fill the unexpired Alabama House District 16 seat, formerly held by Kyle South, will be held on Tuesday, Sept. 26. There will be no Democratic primary for the open seat, as John Underwood was the only Democratic qualifier. As the only Democratic candidate, Underwood will automatically be in the Jan. 9, 2024 general election.
Governor Kay Ivey on Friday, July 7 signed a proclamation to set special election dates for the vacant Alabama House District 16 office. This seat was previously held by Kyle South, who resigned effective June 30 to serve as president and CEO of the Chamber of Commerce of West Alabama.
