Jimmy Martin will return to his seat in the Alabama House of Representatives.

As the incumbent in 2010, Martin lost the seat to Kurt Wallace. On Tuesday, Martin retook the seat with 4,621 votes (50.7 percent) to Wallace’s 4,501 votes (49.3 percent) in the Republican Primary Election.

No Democrat has filed to run against Martin in the November General Election.

“I’m very excited and very pleased, and I am more than elated to know I’ll be back to serve the people of Chilton County,” Martin said.

Martin held a slightly larger edge in Chilton County than in the election overall, garnering 3,554 votes (52.2 percent) in Chilton County to 3.260 for Wallace.
