Baldwin County Primary Election Results: Tuberville Wins; Seven Races Head to June 16 Runoff

Voters across Baldwin County turned out Tuesday for Alabama's 2026 primary election. With 64 of 65 Baldwin County precincts reporting — about 98 percent of the county — Tommy Tuberville won the Republican gubernatorial nomination outright. Seven other races — five statewide and two in Baldwin County — fell short of a majority and will be decided in runoff elections on Tuesday, June 16.

The Baldwin County figures below are pulled from the Probate Office's live results portal and remain unofficial until certified. Statewide percentages cited in race notes reflect Fox10's tally at the time of this update; statewide results will be certified by the Alabama Secretary of State.

A note on Baldwin County versus statewide: most local races (county commission, sheriff, school board, judicial) are decided here. Statewide races — Governor, U.S. Senate, Attorney General, Lieutenant Governor — count Baldwin's votes alongside every other county in Alabama. A candidate who clears 50 percent in Baldwin can still face a statewide runoff if the rest of the state pulled different directions, which is what happened in the U.S. Senate Republican primary.

Races heading to a June 16 runoff

Under Alabama law, a candidate must win a majority of the vote — more than 50 percent — to advance directly out of a party primary. When no candidate clears that bar, the top two finishers face each other in a runoff election six weeks later. Seven races on Baldwin County ballots will be on the June 16 runoff:

Statewide runoffs (Baldwin voters participate alongside every other Alabama county):

• U.S. Senate, Republican Primary — Barry Moore (39.2% statewide) versus Jared Hudson (25.6% statewide). Moore carried Baldwin County with 51.2 percent, but fell short statewide.
• U.S. Senate, Democratic Primary — Everett Wess (39.6% statewide) versus Dakarai Larriett (29.1% statewide). The order reverses Baldwin's count, where Larriett led with 31.9 percent and Wess took 26.2 percent.
• Attorney General, Republican Primary — Katherine Robertson (40.5% statewide) versus Jay Mitchell (34.4% statewide). Pamela L. Casey, the third candidate, was eliminated.
• Lieutenant Governor, Republican Primary — John Wahl (40.6% statewide) versus Wes Allen (38.0% statewide).
• Agriculture Commissioner, Republican Primary — Corey Hill (35.4% statewide) versus Christina Woerner McInnis (34.8% statewide). Jack Williams, the third candidate, was eliminated by a narrow margin.

Baldwin County local runoffs:

• State House District 95, Republican Primary — Frances Holk-Jones (42.4%) versus Joe Freeman (38.6%). Elijah Davidson, the third candidate, was eliminated.
• Baldwin County Commission, District 4, Republican Primary — John Harris (47.4%) versus Brett Gaar (28.8%). Tracey Gambill, the third candidate, was eliminated.

State House District 65 was officially called for John Knapp, who took the multi-county district with 57.8 percent (4,270 votes) against Dee Campbell's 42.2 percent (3,118). Knapp's lead in Baldwin County alone was just 15 votes, but the district extends beyond Baldwin and the broader margin clinched the nomination.

State House District 96 has not been formally called by Fox10, but Danielle Duggar's 157-vote lead over Matt Simpson with 1 percent of precincts outstanding cannot mathematically be erased. The Probate Office's certified canvass is the authoritative source.

What happens next

The runoff on Tuesday, June 16, 2026 will settle the seven races above plus any too-close-to-call contest whose final tally falls below a majority. The winners of each party primary then advance to the general election on Tuesday, November 3, 2026, where the Republican and Democratic nominees face each other along with any independent or third-party candidates who qualified.

Voters who cast a ballot in one party's primary may vote in that same party's runoff, but may not cross over. Voters who did not participate in the primary are eligible to vote in either party's runoff. Polling places and voter-eligibility status can be confirmed through the Alabama Secretary of State's portal at alabamavotes.gov.

A note on turnout

The Republican primary drew far more Baldwin County voters than the Democratic primary, a longstanding pattern in a county that has not voted for a Democratic presidential nominee since 1976. Governor Tommy Tuberville drew 26,997 Republican votes to former U.S. Senator Doug Jones's 5,384 Democratic votes — roughly a five-to-one ratio. That gap shapes the practical importance of the Republican runoffs in particular: the winners of the State House District 95 and County Commission District 4 GOP runoffs are likely to face only token general-election opposition.
