Here's what the article doesn't mention. As Attorney General, Strange was investigating Governor Bentley and his affair with alleged mistress Rebekah Mason and the criminal use of campaign funds to support Mason.
There's a whole lot of allegedly criminal activities that Bentley & Mason we're allegedly involved in, but that's for another post.
When Jeff Sessions was appointed AG by President Trump, Bentley saw his opportunity to get Alabama AG Luther Strange off his tail. So after Strange announced that he was halting the Bentley investigation, the Governor appointed him to fill Sessions' senate seat.
The former Chief Justice of Alabama, Roy Moore, is running and I am sure that the GOPe are scared that their boy will lose.
No word yet if Jennifer Medeiros will again profit from a Luther Strange political campaign.

“We have made it very clear from the beginning that Sen. Luther Strange would be treated as an incumbent,” NRSC spokeswoman Katie Martin told Politico, according to remarks posted the Andalusia Star. “It has also been a clear policy that we will not use vendors who work against our incumbents.”
Why this is just like the RATs here in CA telling contractors who work on Trump’s wall are of the list of qualified bidders for state business.
Strange Luther accepted the Senate appointment in exchange of laying off the corrupt governor.
I was really pleased to see Kay Ivey announce there would be a special election.
I don’t know enough about Luther Strange, but the fact that the NRSC is backing him gives the feeling he is not on the side of the citizens and the rule of law.
They only back Cheap Labor Express stooges.
Luther Strange is as corrupt as they come.
Primary him out.
I don’t want a strange senator when there is someone running who is more conservative.
