The Alabama Republican Party has officially named Tuscaloosa City Councilman Norman Crow as its nominee in the upcoming special election for House District 63. The Party announced the selection in a Facebook post on Monday, praising Crow’s record of conservative leadership and public service.
“Congratulations to Tuscaloosa City Councilman Norman Crow on becoming the official Republican nominee in the Special Election for House District 63!” the statement read. “Councilman Crow brings a strong record of public service and conservative leadership to the race. We’re proud to have him representing the Alabama Republican Party in this important election.”
Crow, a Tuscaloosa native, was the first to announce his candidacy for the seat earlier this year, shortly after it became clear that State Representative Cynthia Almond would be vacating the position to accept an appointment as President of the Alabama Public Service Commission. Almond’s resignation officially took effect on June 15.
