Mobile,
Alabama – In a short race to replace the late Dr. Yvonne Kennedy, two well
known candidates advance to a runoff after Tuesday special election.
Adline
Clarke and Karlos Finley will both square off to become the next State
Representative to represent Alabama House District 97 as a Democrat in Montgomery.
No Republicans qualified to run on the Republican ticket to challenge the
Democratic nominee. This is expected to be a spirited campaign in the weeks to come.
