MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) - Jeff Coleman and Barry Moore will meet in a runoff for the District 2 U.S. House nomination in southeast Alabama.

Moore claimed the second runoff spot Wednesday against Coleman, the top vote-getter, as returns showed him leading third-place finisher Jessica Taylor by fewer than 600 of the more than 104,000 votes that were cast Tuesday.

Taylor issued a statement congratulating Moore on his strong finish.
