- The 2016 United States Senate election in Alabama was held on November 8, 2016, to elect a member of the United States Senate to represent the State of Alabama, concurrently with the 2016 U.S. presidential election, as well as other elections to the United States Senate in other states and elections to the United States House of Representatives and various state and local elections. Incumbent Republican Senator Richard Shelby won re-election to a sixth term in office. The primaries were held on March 1. Ron Crumpton, a marijuana legalization activist, was the Democratic nominee. Shelby won re-election with 63.96% of the vote. Despite an overwhelming victory statewide, this marks Shelby’s first race as either a Republican or Democrat in which he has failed to carry Jefferson County (home of Birmingham, the state’s largest city). In Jefferson, Crumpton took 51.99% (156,574 votes) to Senator Shelby’s 47.86% (144,136 votes), this shift is due in part to increase of Democratic support in urban core areas across the nation. (en)
