Three term incumbent Republican senator Tom Whatley was controversially defeated in the primary by Auburn city councilman Jay Hovey by a single vote. [11] Shortly after, a New York Times editorial emerged telling a story of how a creative writing professor at Auburn University had convinced a substantial amount of avowed Democrats to vote in the Republican primary for Hovey due to Whatley's "abhorrent" record on legislation regarding abortion. [78] After this article emerged, Whatley declared himself "the rightful winner" of the election and produced a testimony from a single voter still registered in Georgia that stated they would have voted for Whatley if they were able. [79] However, Whatley soon conceded the election to Hovey before an official recount could be conducted at the Alabama Republican Party headquarters. [80] This election will likely lead to the Alabama Legislature passing laws requiring closed primary elections in last legislative session of the 2022 calendar year. United States Army Human Resources Officer Sherri Reese [81] was nominated by the Democratic Party and is challenging Hovey in the general election.
