For Jones to bridge that gap, he appears ready to execute a strategy focused on "competence vs. embarrassment."

People are asking for relief,” Dixon said. “When a family’s grocery bill keeps climbing and housing doesn’t get more affordable, they look f

They're all good people, but they're all somewhat mellow. And I think we need hard knocks fighters in the United States Senate—people who can go toe to toe with the Democrats, not just in the halls of the United States Senate, not just in the Senate chamber, but also in the news media and help the public better understand why what the Republicans want to do is best for our country.”

> “It violates the Due Process Clauses of the 5th and 14th Amendments. It violates the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment. And it violates the Naturalization Clause, which empowers the federal government—not the states—to control who can become citizens and what their rights and responsibilities are once they become citizens. So in my judgment, it’s wholly unconstitutional

No one should be surprised at Wes Allen pushing this type of egregious bill. Remember, when Allen served in the legislature, he sponsored a bill banning curbside voting. For those unfamiliar, curbside voting meant people with disabilities and mobility issues could have a poll worker bring their ballot to them, allowing them to fill it out while the poll worker returned it. Good job, Secretary Allen! You should still feel so proud of disenfranchising disabled people.

On what planet does Allen imagine someone not born in the United States winning an election in Alabama? And exactly what voting bloc is he trying to appeal to with this? In retrospect, does his racist xenophobia not risk alienating level-headed Republicans—those who don’t view individuals who came to this country and became citizens the right way as the enemy? Does he not believe that his own ancestors, who came to this country seeking a better life and became citizens, shoul

The powers that be are coming at McCarron because he only registered to vote a few days ago? Really? I mean, that's all you got? That holds as hollow as a whiskey barrel around a bunch of North Carolina moonshiners in the Appalachian Mountains. Empty!

However, in a phone interview earlier today with the Alabama Political Contributor, Royal ruled out a run, saying, “If I was a betting man, I would bet against me being a candidate.” The former Birmingham City Councilman added that he “did not have the time to invest” in a campaign.

Just a few weeks ago, Allen appeared to be the front-runner to succeed outgoing Lieutenant Governor Will Ainsworth. After today, that’s out the window like a swirling McDonald’s hamburger wrapper. Gone with the wind. McCarron is now under center.

After the person wanted to know who I plan to vote for in the primary. I gave them a name. Next, they included Paul finebaum's name and asked who I would choose. At that moment it dawned on me like a bright January son they were conducting a push poll so I readily played along. I changed my choice to Mr finebaum and they wanted to know why. I quickly came up with something off the top of my head and when I finish speaking they wanted me to elaborate further. So I obliged.

Slow down, cowboy. Three-quarters of the respondents did not choose you. Furthermore, did Alabama's election security not drop to second place under your watch—after previously being ranked the most secure in the nation under former Secretary of State John Merrill? And how did you lead the charge against puberty blockers and sex change procedures on minors in our state while serving as Chief Elections Officer?

Emerging issues such as climate resilience and technological innovation may also gain prominence. Public engagement and voter participation

Those pics had to be a wake-up call for Allen—like a cold shower in January. Startling, jolting, and eye-opening. Allen already faces problems running against Rick Pate. Everybody likes the Commissioner. He is as lovable as buttered cornbread with fried chicken after Sunday go-to-meeting.

The coalition includes active and retired District Attorneys, Chiefs of Police, Special Agents, State Troopers, and leaders from victim advocacy organizations. Their endorsements reflect Casey’s reputation as a tough, principled prosecutor with a long-standing commitment to victims’ rights and public safety.

How much is all of this going to cost to accommodate 12% of the people who make up 0.44% of the student body? Where does this end? Are we going to try to change all of society to placate a small percentage of people who have a mental illness?

Messer, a veteran of the U.S. Army and former police officer, has positioned his campaign around fiscal responsibility, public safety,l

On the question of what it means to be a Democrat in 2025, Dr. Boyd replied: > “What does it mean to be a Democrat today? I think a Democrat is someone who is very inclusive of all people, someone who really wants to work for all of Alabama.”

James has demonstrated an unwavering desire to serve both his district and the citizens of Alabama,” the endorsement reads. “His extensive involvement in local initiatives and his advocacy for conservative values highlight his readiness to take on the challenges facing our state.”

Chen, in his historic bid to become the first Taiwanese American officeholder in Alabama history, has picked up several crucial endorsements of late—first from the Forestry Association, then the Alabama Electric Cooperatives PAC, ALFA Farm PAC, and Dadeville businessman Robert McCollum, who withdrew from the race to focus on flipping a Democrat-held commission seat red in Tallapoosa County.

Now the next two picks conjure visions of 30 pieces of silver, with ALFA betraying Senator Jack Williams, who is running for Agriculture Commissioner, and putting the knife in the back of current Ag Commissioner Rick Pate, who is seeking to be the next Lieutenant Governor. Instead, ALFA chose Chip Hill over Williams and Secretary of State Wes Allen over Pate, respectively.
