MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) — Former Alabama Republican party chair Twinkle Cavanaugh ran first but is in a GOP runoff for Public Service Commission Place 1.
Unofficial totals early Wednesday gave her 49.5 percent of the vote, just uner the majority needed to avoid a runoff. Finishing second by a narrow margin and making the runoff was Steven Evans, followed by Chris Beeker.
In the Republican primary for PSC Place 2, Terry Dunn got 51.6 percent of the vote to narrowly defeat Chip Brown.
Incumbent Democrats Jan Cook in Place 1 and Susan Parker in Place 2 did not have primary opposition.
