The 2022 United States Senate election in Alabama was held on November 8, 2022, to elect a member of the United States Senate to represent the State of Alabama. Incumbent senator Richard Shelby was first elected in 1986 and re-elected in 1992 as a Democrat before becoming a Republican in 1994.[1] In his most recent election in 2016, he was re-elected with nearly 64% of the vote over Democrat Ron Crumpton.[2] In February 2021, Shelby announced that he would not seek re-election to a seventh term,[3] which resulted in the first open Senate seat since 1996 and the first in this seat since 1968.[a]
Primary elections in Alabama were held on May 24, with Will Boyd securing the Democratic nomination. However, as none of the Republican candidates received at least 50% of the vote, a runoff election occurred on June 21 between the top two candidates of the first round: attorney Katie Britt and U.S. representative Mo Brooks. Britt won the runoff against Brooks and subsequently became the Republican nominee.[4]
Britt's victory in the Republican Party primary was seen as tantamount to election in Alabama, which is a heavily Republican state.[5][6][7] Britt won the general election and became the first woman elected to the U.S. Senate in the state's history.[b][c] She is also the first non-incumbent Republican Senator from Alabama to have been elected to this seat since 1980.
