Cindy Myrex Wins GOP Nomination Alabama House District 12 Runoff

Cindy Myrex, a realtor from Smith Lake, secured the Republican nomination for Alabama House District 12 after defeating Cullman City Councilman Clint Hollingsworth in a special primary runoff with approximately 58.5% of the vote. The seat became vacant earlier this year following the resignation of State Representative Corey Harbison. Myrex campaigned on issues including listening to constituents, improving mental health care in public schools, and economic growth, and she supports repealing a controversial law allowing Cullman city to annex land for alcohol sales. The Alabama Farmers Federation endorsed Myrex, with its president praising her commitment to community service. Alabama Republican Party officials expressed gratitude to both candidates for their strong campaigns and pledged support for Myrex in the upcoming general election. She will face Democrat Matt Glover, a former Good Hope city councilman, in the special general election scheduled for October 28.
