Retired Army Sgt. Kenneth Paschal handily defeated Democrat Sheridan Black in a general special election for a Shelby County-based state House seat, and will become the Legislature’s only Black Republican once he is sworn into office.
Also on Tuesday, former state Rep. and ex-Trump administration official April Weaver, a Republican, soundly won her special election against Democrat Virginia Teague Applebaum.
The Alabama GOP and his campaign said Paschal became the first Black Republican elected to the state Legislature since Reconstruction (about 140 years ago).
