Bankhead Chosen to Fill Morgan Seat in Alabama
Jo Bankhead, ex congressman and Alabama native born around 1860s, was appointed by Governor Comer to the U S Senate vacancy created by the death of John T Morgan. His term lasts until July 19 legislative session ends when the body will elect to serve out the unexpired Morgan term. Bankhead, a veteran of ten congresses and a former Confederate officer, previously ran in the Democratic primary for alternate senator and is seen as strengthened by the governor’s appointment.
