The Alabama Beacon projects that Marion attorney Robert Turner, Jr. will be the next District Attorney of the Fourth Judicial Circuit. Turner pulled out big wins in Perry and Hale Counties, giving him the edge over longtime incumbent Jackson.
Unofficial totals from the May 24 Democratic primary place Turner’s final total at 9,178 votes to Jackson’s 7323. There was no declared Republican opposition for the office, meaning the winner of today’s race is the presumptive winner and next holder of the office.
The Fourth Judicial Circuit is made up of Bibb, Dallas, Hale, Perry, and Wilcox Counties. Totals by county are as follows:
Bibb:
Jackson – 147
Turner – 263
Dallas:
Jackson – 4728

Hale:
Jackson – 891
Turner – 1337
