Hendrix hometown victor in Birmingham-area special election

Birmingham native, police officer and returning candidate Travis Hendrix locked down a high-stakes special primary runoff election on Tuesday night with 65% of the vote.  Hendrix won out against Alabama’s first openly-transgender candidate, Sylvia Swayne, who more than doubled his fundraising total. Despite being outraised and outspent, Hendrix said he’s grateful for the opportunity to represent his longtime neighbors.  RELATED: Hendrix gets new shot at District 55 seat in Tuesday special election Notably, turnout in the predominantly Black district was greater than in the primary election its
