The 2008 Jefferson County Commission special election for the Jefferson County Commission District 1 is scheduled for February 5, 2008 to coincide with the state's presidential primaries. There are 5 challengers vying for the office held by George Bowman, whom Governor Bob Riley appointed to the post after Larry Langford took office as Mayor of Birmingham. The legal question of whether the position is to be filled by an appointee or by special election is in dispute.
Candidates
- Kamau Afrika, a political consultant
- William Bell, Birmingham City Council
- George Bowman (incumbent)
- Orville Ifill, former public information officer for the Commission
- Eric Major, a former state representative and chair of the Jefferson County Citizens Coalition
- Fred Plump, a retired Birmingham firefighter
