Rep. Corey Harbison, R-Cullman, resigned from the Alabama House of Representatives on Tuesday after being largely absent from the 2025 Legislative Session.
Harbison served in the Legislature for 10 years and sent a one sentence resignation letter to the House Speaker Nathaniel Ledbetter, R-Rainsville.
“Mr. Speaker, Please accept this letter as formal notification of my resignation from Alabama House District 12,” Harbison wrote.
According to Alabama Political Reporter, Harbison had not attended much of the last three legislative sessions despite being marked present and voting on legislation. Harbison said family responsibilities had kept him away.
The resignation will lead to a special election, though Gov. Kay Ivey had not yet set the election as of early Thursday afternoon.
The district is strongly Republican. Harbison took over 85% of the vote in his re-election campaign in 2022.
