John Harold Merrill

was one of the cosponsors of the 2011 Beason-Hammon Alabama Taxpayer and Citizen Protection Act (HB56), much of which was nullified by settlements in the federal courts.

Merrill won a runoff with Reese McKinney in the 2014 Republican primary to fill the seat held by appointee Jim Bennett. He defeated Democrat Lula Albert-Kaigler in the 2014 general election.

Running as the incumbent, Merrill easily defeated challenger Michael Johnson in the 2018 Republican primary and pulled out a slightly narrower victory against Democrat Heather Milam in the 2018 general election.
