Two Democrats are heading to a runoff election for Alabama’s 2nd Congressional District following the crowded primary race on Super Tuesday in which no Democratic candidate captured more than 50% of the vote.

Former Justice Department official Shomari Figures and Democratic state Rep. Anthony Daniels will face each other in a runoff contest on April 16. The Associated Press called the race with Figures leading with 43.5% of the vote, followed by Daniels with 22.4%. The only other candidate to receive double digits was Napoleon Bracy, with 15.7%.

The winner will face the Republican candidate in a district that was long considered a GOP stronghold but was recently reshaped to become 49% black due to new congressional maps.
