2018 special election
A special election for the position of Alabama House of Representatives District 21 was called for March 27, 2018. Originally, the special election was called for June 12, 2018, with a special primary election on January 9, 2018, and a special primary runoff election on March 27, 2018. The dates changed when only two candidates—one Democrat and one Republican—filed to run, making the special primary and the special primary runoff unnecessary.
The candidate filing deadline for major party candidates was October 26, 2017, and the deadline for minor party candidates and independents was January 9, 2018.[2] Democrat C. Terry Jones and Republican Rex Reynolds filed to run as major party candidates.[3] Reynolds defeated Jones in the special election.[4]
The seat became vacant following the death of Jim Patterson (R) on October 2, 2017.

Scorecards
A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.
Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
