From al.com:
Republican Mike Hubbard of Auburn was this afternoon elected Alabama’s first Republican Speaker of the House in modern times.
Legislators voted 100-0 for Hubbard, the only nominee for the post, after the new Republican majority was sworn into office.
“You humble me with your trust and your confidence you’ve placed in me today,” Hubbard said.
Hubbard said he wanted to start the next four-year legislative term in a spirit of cooperation.
“Today is not about partisanship. It’s not about who won or lost the election,” Hubbard said.
