Priscilla Dunn was a Democratic member of the Alabama House of Representatives. She has represented Alabama's 56th house district in Jefferson County since 1998. She was recently elected in 2009 to represent the 19th district in the Alabama Senate. She received a B.S. from Alabama State University and an M.A. from the University of Montevallo
Dunn is a member of the Bessemer Civic Center Board of Directors, Secretary for Girls Incorporated of Central Alabama, and President of the Humanistic Challengers Federated Club.[1]
Issue positions
Dunn did not provide answers to the Alabama State Legislative Election 2006 National Political Awareness Test. The test provides voters with how a candidate would vote on the issues if elected.[2]
Senate election
The election for Seat 19 on the Alabama Senate was scheduled for August 18. However, no Republican qualified to run against Dunn in that election. Since Dunn's name was to be the only name on the ballot, and since Jefferson County is cash-strapped, Secretary of State Beth Chapman cancelled the election, which means that Dunn will win the seat. The special election would have cost about $100,000.[3]
Jefferson County delegation
When Dunn leaves the state house, Seat 56 will be temporarily vacant. With Dunn in office, the Jefferson County House delegation is evenly divided between nine Democrats and nine Republicans. When Dunn is sworn into the senate, Republican legislators will have a temporary one-vote edge.
