Three of Alabama’s incumbent Congressman will be representing the Republican Party in the upcoming general election after handily winning their respective primaries over challengers on Tuesday.

Rep.’s Robert Aderholt, Gary Palmer, and Mike Rogers won in a convincing fashion with Aderholt claiming 79% of the vote in District 4, Palmer winning 83% of voters over in District 6, and Rogers securing 82% of the vote in the District 3.

Each expressed their appreciation for the strong show of support from Republican voters.

On Tuesday evening, Aderholt (R-Haleyville) issued a message of gratitude on social media shortly after the race was called in his favor.

 

Palmer (R-Hoover) thanked voters in his district for their continued confidence.

“The results represent that voters in our district believe that proven conservative leadership is what is needed for Alabama,” Palmer said. “Now that the primary and Super Tuesday are behind us, I will be focused on supporting other Republicans in their races so we can give President Trump a Republican majority when he is back in the White House. Thank you to the voters for their confidence in our vision and to those who supported our campaign.”

“I am looking forward to getting back to work for you!”

Rogers (R-Saks) gave thanks for the continued support of Republican voters in his district.
