In the runoff for Hoover's City Council, Ashley Lovell defeated Liz Lane for Place 3 handily, while Gene Smith is the winner of Place 2.

The Alabama Republican Party (ALGOP) is taking an unusual step in at least two of the upcoming municipal election runoffs on Tuesday.

Of the seven city council seats, five have been set, while two races are going to a runoff. Four incumbents will return. Two incumbents, Steve McClinton and Casey Middlebrooks did not have opposition, while Khristi Driver and Derrick Murphy easily fended off their opposition.

Hoover residents and candidates for Place 3 are awaiting the results of Tuesday’s election that will determine if Ashley Lovell and Liz Lane will have a runoff.

Unlike many who seek public office, it wasn't something Ashley Lovell saw herself doing. Yet today, the Hoover native is announcing her run for the Hoover City Council, Place 3. City council president John Lyda currently holds the seat.
