GOP nominee for HD12 election, Cindy Myrex, wins the runoff contest
In a close-fought contest, Cindy Myrex, a realtor from Smith Lake, has secured the Republican nomination for Alabama House District 12. Myrex clinched the victory in a special GOP primary runoff election held on August 17, 2025, defeating Cullman city councilman Clint Hollingsworth [1][2][3].
District 12, which covers parts of Cullman County, encompasses areas such as Good Hope, Garden City, Colony, and Smith Lake. The seat became vacant earlier in 2025 after State Representative Corey Harbison resigned. Myrex's win in the primary runoff was not a landslide, but she managed to secure 58.53% of the votes, with Hollingsworth receiving 41.47% [4].
Myrex's campaign received notable endorsements, including from the Alabama Farmers Federation, reflecting support from local agricultural interests. She has not previously held elected office but has been described as a public servant and community-focused candidate [1][2].
The ALFA Farmer's Federation expressed their support for Myrex in her bid to represent the people of Cullman County in Montgomery. In a statement, the Federation's President, Lee Haynes, congratulated Myrex on her victory and stated that her win demonstrates how public servants can make a difference for their communities [5].
The special general election for Alabama House District 12 is scheduled for October 28, 2025, where Myrex will face Democrat Matt Glover. Glover, a former Good Hope city councilman, has yet to comment on his campaign strategy for the upcoming election [6].
Approximately 5,200 residents voted in the special primary runoff for Alabama House District 12 on Tuesday, a slight increase from the 4,300 who voted in the initial July 15 GOP special primary [7][8].
