Five candidates want to represent a Jacksonville-area Alabama House district. And that’s actually a smaller field than the last contest. In 2022, seven candidates ran in Alabama House District 40. This year, incumbent Rep. Chad Robertson, R-Heflin, faces three Republican challengers and one Democrat in the race to represent the district, which covers parts of Calhoun and Cleburne counties. The district boundaries shifted following redistricting, splitting Calhoun County and adding Cleburne County.
