Controversy
[edit]

In the weeks leading up to the primary, the state GOP unanimously decided to censure Jim Bonner as various offensive comments he made on social media were uncovered.[41] Terry Lathan, Chairman of Alabama GOP, announced the following day the party had voted not to certify ballots cast for him in the upcoming primary.[42] Jo Bonner, former U.S. Representative from the first congressional district, publicly denied any relation to him and expressed resentment over his views.[43]

Incumbent Oden narrowly defeated Bonner in the primary election; the margin of victory was wide enough to avoid an automatic recount.[44] Bonner tried to raise funds for a recount but was unsuccessful.[45] The state GOP also upheld their decision to keep his votes uncertified.[46]

Alabama State Legislature

[edit]
Main articles: 2018 Alabama House of Representatives election and 2018 Alabama Senate election

Every member of the Alabama state legislature was up for election in 2018. Both state senators and state representatives serve four-year terms in Alabama. After the 2014 elections, Republicans maintained control of both chambers. In 2018, all 35 Alabama Senate seats and all 105 Alabama House of Representatives seats were up for election. These seats would not be contested in a regularly scheduled election again until 2022.

The outcome of this election could affect partisan balance during post-2020 census redistricting.[49]

Republicans won 27 seats, while Democrats won eight. The Republican Party gained one seat, the 29th, which was held by an retiring independent who caucused with the Republicans.

Republicans won 77 seats, while Democrats won 28. The Republican Party gained five seats.

United States House of Representatives
