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 who 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.[ needs update ] United States Army Human Resources Officer Sherri Reese [81] was nominated by the Democratic Party and challenged Hovey in the general election.
