"Let me be your Rae of Hope for a Brighter Tomorrow." Interview with Barron Rae Bevels

By Chris Peeks January 04, 2023


I had the distinct honor of being the first person to interview Barron Rae Bevils a few days ago, and all I can say is it was my pleasure. She is a unique young lady.



A lifelong Dadeville resident, she went to Central Alabama Community College before transferring to Auburn, where she got a degree in psychology. After graduation, she moved to Miami and dabbled in modeling for a while.



Finding herself unhappy with the culture shock of South Beach after coming from small town Alabama, while desiring to follow her true calling of helping people rather than being remembered "as just another extra in a movie," she moved back home and found her husband. They have a "love child" she said, describing their daughter.



Barron's passion for helping people is ingrained in her. She started a nonprofit in high school called Rae of Hope. She did hoodies for children, Ronald McDonald House as well as helping people at Thanksgiving.



Barron could have stayed at home tending to her duties as a beekeeper and goat farmer, but after a chance conversation with her husband, he convinced her she would be a great politician. After returning from vacation and praying on it, she decided to challenge Mike Rodgers for the GOP nomination in the Third Congressional District.



Calling herself a lifelong conservative, the 28-year-old's main focus is improving the lives of Alabamains with "lower taxes" and wanting the people of the district to "be more self-sufficient" instead of looking for a "government handout."  Most important is her child not having to compete with people who identify as transgender in athletics.



Barron says she wants to be a "voice of reason and awareness," and in the March  5 primary, she is asking the voters to show those same attributes, allowing her the chance to be their "Rae of Hope for a Brighter Tomorrow."
