Public Service Commission

The two associate commissioner seats on the Alabama Public Service Commission were up for election. Incumbent Republican commissioners Jeremy Oden, who was appointed to the commission by Governor Bentley in December 2012, and Chris "Chip" Beeker, who was first elected in 2014, were both eligible to run for re-election.

Place 1

Democratic nominee

• Cara McClure, entrepreneur. ^[38]

Republican primary

Candidates

• Jim Bonner, former community college teacher. ^[39]
• Jeremy Oden, incumbent. ^[40]

Controversy

In the weeks leading up to the primary, the state GOP unanimously decided to censure Jim Bonner as various offensive comments he made on social media were uncovered. ^[41] Terry Lathan, Chairman of Alabama GOP, announced the following day the party had voted not to certify ballots cast for him in the upcoming primary. ^[42] Jo Bonner, former U.S. Representative from the first congressional district, publicly denied any relation to him and expressed resentment over his views. ^[43]

Incumbent Oden narrowly defeated Bonner in the primary election; the margin of victory was wide enough to avoid an automatic recount. ^[44] Bonner tried to raise funds for a recount but was unsuccessful. ^[45] The state GOP also upheld their decision to keep his votes uncertified. ^[46]
