Birmingham mayor Randall Woodfin turns City Hall into unlawful National Democratic PAC
Critics point out that high-profile appearances alongside national figures like Buttigieg are part of a broader, calculated effort to elevate the "Woodfin brand." By manufacturing associations with heavy-hitters from the national stage, organizers and political operatives are attempting to package the Birmingham mayor as a rising progressive figure cut from the political cloth of figures like Barack Obama—all while leveraging local municipal machinery and state personnel to c

Furthermore, both "Dishonest" Dalton and "Con-woman" Katherine have misled the electorate this entire cycle about receiving dark gambling money funneled through out-of-state PAC-to-PAC transfers.
