Alabama Republican Party Chairman Terry Lathan made the following statement following the results of today’s historic election:
“Congratulations to Judge Roy Moore and Senator Luther Strange on winning today’s Alabama U.S. Senate Primary Election. We commend all our excellent candidates. It is challenging to run for office, especially in a quick statewide race. We need good citizens to agree to serve our great state. We certainly had a strong slate of candidates for this election.”
“Republican voters will once again make their final decision during the September 26 runoff to select a final nominee for our ticket. As a reminder, the runoff is only open to the GOP voters who voted in our August 15 primary or those who did not participate in the election at all.”
“Over 70% of the voters cast a Republican ballot in this race. We feel confident Alabama will send a conservative senator to Washington to work with President Trump and Senator Shelby.”
