Fields Wins Convincingly in HD12
Democrat James Fields won yesterday’s special election in Alabama House District 12 with nearly 60% of the vote in a race that many Republicans apparently thought would be an easy pickup. Danny has been following the race, and he has an excellent analysis of the results at the Political Parlor. I didn’t follow this race closely, but I must say that I’m tickled to see a black Democrat, who by all accounts ran a positive, issues-based campaign, defeat a white Southern League candidate — in a district that’s overwhelmingly white.
Congratulations, Rep. Fields!
