GUNTERSVILLE — Jeana Ross and Alan Miller came out on top of a crowded GOP primary election field Tuesday to advance to a special election runoff in four weeks.

Ross received 1,404 votes for 39.23% of the ballots for the top spot in the Alabama House District 27 primary special election. Miller collected 737 votes (20.59%) to finish second.

The seat became vacant when former State Rep. Wes Kitchens was elected to the Alabama Senate in January.

Since no one received the 50% plus one majority, Ross and Miller will advance to the special primary run-off election April 30. Because there is no Democrat candidate in the race, the winner will represent the district in the Alabama House.

The unofficial results are:

Jena Ross: 1,404 votes, 39.23%
Alan Miller: 737 votes, 20.59%
Bill Stricklend: 532 votes, 14.86%
Bill Hancock: 484 votes, 13.52%
Billy Ray Todd: 312 votes, 8.72%
Stacy Lee George: 110 votes, 3.07%
