Greg Barnes, a retired contractor, is the presumptive House District 13 representative in Jasper, Alabama, according to unofficial election results.

Walker County voters chose Barnes, 67, over pharmacist and business owner Dustin Beaty, 52. As of 8:50 p.m., Barnes had 2,500 votes (69.19%), while Beaty got 1,113 votes (30.81%), according to unofficial results. About 3,600 people voted Tuesday, 8,400 less than votes cast in the 2022 general election.

Messages seeking comment from Beaty were left Tuesday night.

Barnes said in a phone interview Tuesday night that he is ready to get to work on preparations for the 2026 Legislative session.

“I feel fantastic. A 70% win. I mean, I feel really good,” Barnes said.
