Birmingham, AL – Republican voters in portions of Lee and Chambers Counties went to the polls Tuesday to choose the Party’s nominee in the Alabama House District 38 Special Primary Election.
The seat became vacant following former State Representative Debbie Wood’s relocation outside the district due to her husband’s job relocating to Pensacola, Florida.
The Republican candidates for House District 38 and the unofficial results are as follows:
- Garrett Dixon: 874 votes, 33.28%
- Micah J. Messer: 526 votes, 20.03%
- Kristin Nelson: 1226 votes, 46.69%
No candidate received more than 50% of the vote. Therefore, a runoff election will be held on Tuesday, November 18, 2025, between the top two vote-getters, Garrett Dixon and Kristin Nelson, to determine the Republican nominee.
Alabama Republican Party Chief of Staff Shannon Whitt released the following statement:
“We congratulate all three candidates for a strong and spirited campaign. Today’s results reflect the continued engagement of Republican voters in East Alabama. The upcoming runoff on November 18 will allow voters to select the nominee who will best represent their values and serve their community with dedication.”
