With 100% of Baldwin County’s vote reported to the Alabama Secretary of State’s office, state Rep. Frances Holk-Jones has earned the Republican nomination in her bid to retain the District 95 seat.

Runoffs were held Tuesday, June 16, across the state, including eight impacting Baldwin County. Holk-Jones had 52.3% of the vote, or 3,109 votes, to Joe Freeman’s 47.7%, or 2,837 votes.

“I am honored to have earned the trust of the people of District 95 and to have the opportunity to return to Montgomery to continue serving South Baldwin. Campaigns are never easy, and this one certainly had its challenges, but throughout it all I was reminded how deeply the people of South Baldwin care about protecting what makes this community special and ensuring a strong future for the next generation,” Holk-Jones told GCM.

She will earn her second term in the State House, as there is not a Democrat challenging her in November.

“As I return to Montgomery, one thing this campaign reinforced for me is that we need more honor, integrity and respect in politics. Disagreements are part of the process, but honesty and ethics should never be optional,” she said. “I am honored by the confidence voters placed in me, and I will work every day to earn that trust. The people of District 95 deserve experienced leadership that will tell them the truth, stand by its convictions and always put the interests of the community first. That is the commitment I will continue to make to the people I serve.

She said she is looking forward to “continuing conversations with the people I represent and making sure their voices remain at the center of the decisions we make.”
