## Resource

Incumbent Republican State Senator Will Barfoot is cruising to re-election in District 25, facing off against Democrat Phadra Carson Foster — the only qualified candidate on each side — after a court ruling reinstated Alabama’s 2021 Senate map. Meanwhile, in District 26, Democrat Kirk Hatcher is running unopposed, heading straight to victory. Both special primaries are set for August 11.
