District 97 runoff between Clarke, Finley

A special primary election was held Tuesday, February 26, 2013 to fill a vacancy in District 97 of the Alabama House of Representatives. The seat was left open after Dr. Yvonne Kennedy, of Mobile, died in December.

Seven Democratic candidates are vying for the seat. The Alabama Republican Party says, no candidates from its party qualified for the race.
