2022 AL Senate Race

The 2022 United States Senate election in Alabama will be 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 switching to the Republican Party in 1994. In his most recent election in 2016, he was re-elected with 64% of the vote over Democrat Ron Crumpton. In February 2021, Shelby announced that he would not seek re-election to a seventh term.

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: Katie Britt and Mo Brooks. Britt won the runoff against Brooks and thus became the Republican nominee. If elected, Britt will become the first elected female U.S. Senator in the state’s history.

Britt’s victory in the Republican Party primary is seen as tantamount to election in Alabama, which is a heavily Republican-favored state.

The 2022 United States Senate election in Alaska will be held on November 8, 2022. Incumbent three-term Republican U.S. Senator Lisa Murkowski is running for reelection to a fourth term.

Following voter approval of Ballot Measure 2 during the 2020 elections in Alaska, this will be the first U.S. Senate election in Alaska held under a new election process. All candidates will run in a nonpartisan blanket top-four primary on August 16, 2022, from which the top four candidates will advance to the general election. Voters will then utilize ranked-choice voting during the general election.

On March 16, 2021, the Alaska Republican Party voted to censure Murkowski and announced that they would recruit a Republican challenger in the 2022 election cycle.[3][4] Due to Murkowski’s opposition to some of his initiatives and her vote for conviction following his second impeachment trial, former U.S. President Donald Trump pledged to campaign against Murkowski in 2022.

Murkowski was appointed to the Senate in 2002 by her father Frank Murkowski, who had just resigned from the seat himself after being elected Governor of Alaska. Defeated in the Republican primary in the 2010 election[7], she went on to win the general election as a write-in candidate, becoming one of only two U.S. senators in history to have done so.
