The House of Representatives District 11 General Election is set after Heath Allbright defeated Don Fallin in the Republican Primary Tuesday, May 13.

With 21 of 22 Cullman County precincts counted, Allbright received 1,444 (50.42%) votes while Fallin received 1,420 (49.58) votes.
Allbright swept Blount County. He will face Democrat Alexandria Braswell in the Aug. 26 General Election.

Allbright earned a victory in each of the Blount County precincts, according to results shared with The Times by Cullman County Probate Judge Tammy Brown on Tuesday. In total, Allbright received 356 votes in Blount County compared to the 133 which were cast for Fallin.

Neither of the candidates were present as the votes were tallied at the Cullman County Courthouse on Tuesday. However, each released their own statements via social media later that evening.

“The voters have spoken, and I would like to give my very best congratulations to Heath Allbright in his victory. I want to thank my family, friends, volunteers, donors, and each and every voter in District 11 for giving me the opportunity to run for the Alabama House of Representatives. It has been an incredible journey and I’m thankful for all of the support,” Fallin said.

“I am deeply honored by the trust voters in District 11 have placed in me. I’m ready to fight for our families, schools, and businesses, ensuring our community thrives while preserving the values that make Blount and Cullman Counties home,” Allbright said.

Alabama Republican Party Chairman John Wahl released the following statement:

“Congratulations to Heath Allbright on winning the Republican nomination for House District 11. We’re grateful to both candidates for stepping forward to serve, and to the voters who participated in this important election. With so much at stake in our state, it’s critical that we continue to elect leaders who will stand for conservative values and fight for the people of Alabama. I look forward to supporting Heath Allbright as we head toward the general election in August.”

For the first time in more than a decade, the Republican nominee for this position will face a Democratic challenger in a General Election as Allbright faces Alexandria Braswell on Tuesday, Aug. 26.

This seat became vacant earlier this year when former State Representative Randall Shedd joined the staff of Senate President Pro Tem Garlan Gudger.
