MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) - Three Republicans and one Democrat have
met the deadline to qualify for a special election to replace the
late state Sen. Pat Lindsey of Butler in Senate District 22.
The Democratic Party announced that state Rep. Marc Keahey of
Grove Hill was the lone Democrat to sign up.
The Republican Party said its candidates are Brewton businessman
Danny Joyner, former state Rep. Greg Albritton of Range, and
Citronelle businesswoman Judy Belk.
Belk has run twice for Congress as a Democrat, but decided to
switch parties.
The primary election will be April 14.
Lindsey died Jan. 11 of an apparent heart attack. District 22 in
southwest Alabama includes all of Escambia and Washington counties
and parts of Baldwin, Choctaw, Clarke, Conecuh, Mobile and Monroe
counties.
