2017
A special election for the position of Alabama House of Representatives District 58 was called for May 23, 2017, but the election was decided in a primary on March 7, 2017. The filing deadline for candidates wishing to run in this election was December 27, 2016.[4]
The seat became vacant following Oliver Robinson's (D) resignation on November 30, 2016. He retired wishing to avoid conflicts of interest resulting from his daughter's appointment as Governor's Liaison to the House of Representatives.[5]
Rolanda Hollis defeated James Howell and Rodney Huntley in the Democratic primary with more than 60 percent of the vote.[6] No Republicans or third party candidates qualified for the election. Because of this, the winner of the Democratic primary election was the winner of the District 58 seat.[7]
