Republicans Nominate Brown in House District 52 Race

It appears there will be an election to determine who will fill the District 52 seat in the Alabama House of Representatives.

The Alabama Republican Party on Wednesday submitted the name of Erskine Brown Jr. to the Alabama Secretary of State’s office as its nominee in the special election for the seat. Brown will now face Kelvin Datcher in the Oct. 1 general election.

The Republicans named a nominee after the candidate who had declared for the race dropped out shortly before primaries were held July 16. If the party had not named a nominee, Datcher would have been sworn in this week as the new representative.

Efforts to obtain information on Brown have been unsuccessful.
