Education and early career

A native of Tuscaloosa, Alabama,^[3] Brinyark graduated from Central High School^[4] and went on to attend the University of Alabama, where he attained a B.A. in advertising in 1990, before receiving a J.D. from the University of Alabama School of Law in 1993.^[1]

Entering law practice, Brinyark specialized in business, estate and divorce law.^[3] Brinyark served as a municipal judge in Brent and Woodstock before becoming the municipal judge of Centreville in 2005.^[5] Brinyark also served as a judge for the city of Tuscaloosa, where he presided over cases such as a solicitation charge against Tuscaloosa city councilor James Cunningham, of which Cunningham was found guilty.^[6]

In 2014, Brinyark founded the law firm Brinyark & Frederick, which focuses on divorce law, in Northport.^[3]^[7] Brinyark also chaired the Board of Tuscaloosa Shoot Sports Inc. and was the baseball president of Northside Park in Tuscaloosa.^[8]

Alabama House of Representatives

Following the resignation of Kyle South in 2023, the seat for the Alabama House of Representatives's 16th district became open, and a special election was held. A first-time candidate for the Republican Party,^[1] Brinyark qualified to run for the seat in July 2023.^[9]^[10] Brinyark's main opponent was Fayette County commissioner Brad Cox, against whom he advanced to a runoff election in the Republican primary. Brinyark received the endorsement of the Business Council of Alabama, while Cox had been endorsed by the Alabama Education Association.^[2] Cox won the first round of voting in September 2023 by 15 votes,^[11] but Brinyark defeated Cox with 52% of the runoff vote in October 2023.^[12]^[13]

Brinyark advanced to the general election in January 2024 against Democratic nominee John Underwood, another member of the Fayette County commission.^[1] Prior to the general election, Brinyark also received the endorsement of the Alabama Farmers Federation.^[14] Brinyark won the special election in a landslide with 83% of the vote to Underwood's 17%.^[15]

Following his election, Brinyark said his priorities would include the expansion of Highway 43,^[16] among other infrastructure projects.^[3] Brinyark is also an advocate of school choice, and said he would support programs such as school vouchers.^[3]

Personal life

Brinyark resides in Windham Springs, Alabama,^[1] where he has run a small farm since the 2000s,^[17] and is the father of five adult children. He attends the Northport Church of Christ.^[14]
