2009
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 was cash-strapped, Secretary of State Beth Chapman cancelled the election, which resulted in Dunn winning the seat. The special election would have cost about $100,000.[4]
