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.”

I’m the sole provider for my wife and two kids—working full-time in healthcare, campaigning full-time, and picking up weekends just to keep up with D.C.’s spending habit,” Dixon said. “Public service shouldn’t be a guaranteed paycheck. It should be a responsibility.”

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.

Political insiders who spoke to me on condition of anonymity said Senator Jack Williams, in his bid for Agriculture Commissioner, and current commissioner Rick Pate, who is running for lieutenant governor—both of whom, on paper, were obvious choices for the Farmers Federation—were deemed “too old.”

Chen, seeking to be the first Taiwanese American elected to office in Alabama, has also received backing from the Forestry Association, the Electric Cooperatives of Alabama, as well as former candidate Robert McCollum, who withdrew to run for a commissioner seat in Tallapoosa County,

So why would Ainsworth put himself in the middle of that race? What dog does he have in the fight? He will not be working with the PSC. Remember, he opted out of the governor's race knowing that Tommy Tuberville would beat him like a rented mule. So his endorsement carries as much weight as a feathered pillow.

The National Association for Gun Rights is a no-compromise 2nd Amendment organization that believes, like I do, that our rights are granted by God, protected by the U.S. Constitution against government infringement. Receiving the endorsement from NAGR is truly an honor. I will not falter in protecting the rights of Alabamaians and the people of District 38

That the sole object and only legitimate end of government is to protect the citizen in the enjoyment of life, liberty, and property, and when the government assumes other functions, it is usurpation and oppression.”

Perception is not always reality, but image is everything. In Steve Flowers’ most recent column in Yellowhammer News, he attempts to plant a false image in people's heads. Like a tomato plant put in the ground on a cool April morning, Flowers wants the reader to believe Dobson is pulling away from Sorrell.

What Isner and Jones pulled in 2022 is abhorrent. After Yolanda Flowers defeated State Senator Malika Sanders-Fortier, the party’s handpicked choice—daughter of longtime iconic Senator Hank Sanders—Isner and Jones proceeded to act like two spoiled brats who lost on the playground. They took their ball and went home.

Fast forward to Alabama politics in 2025: on the most recent episode of the BCS: State of Alabama podcast, the 2022 Democratic gubernatorial nominee and 2026 candidate for governor Yolanda Flowers needed no prodding to admit she huffed gas and paint as a teenager.

The U.S. Senate took a different approach, unanimously approving a resolution establishing October 14, 2025, as a National Day of Remembranc

With a Mo Brooks candidacy looking more and more likely in the 2026 Senate race, bringing the number to five candidates seeking to be the next junior Senator from Alabama, does Merrill really want to try to run that gauntlet?

In a statement, McCollum said, "After careful consideration, I am withdrawing from the State Auditor's race and will instead direct my time and effort towards winning this long-held Democratic commission seat in the fourth district. I feel that with the new lines, the time is right for a Republican to win here. I want to serve the people of my home county. I am reminded of Coach Bryant's words, '

Even though he favors an America First policy like President Trump, Dixon is far from MAGA. Articulate and well-spoken, he is not afraid to voice his opposition to Trump sending troops into the nation's inner cities and waging war on Venezuelan drug cartels. He reminds one of Dr. Ron Paul.

Chen is a Vestavia Hills attorney with a background in law and business, having earned degrees from Hope College, Samford University's Cumberland School of Law, and the University of Alabama.

As I write this, looking at his images, my eyes are misting over. Youthful, vibrant, handsome, with his beautiful family, I feel a void thinking of his demise, but from this abyss, I can feel a renewed hope like a phoenix rising from the ashes. The assassin took Charlie from us, but he cannot take away his ideas.

Well, in the old USSR, the citizens could foretell the next General Secretary. Now, I am not saying these men and women vying to serve as our next constitutional officers are Marxist. I have had the pleasure of interviewing many of them. What I am saying is with the herd thinned out, a lack of competition is not good for our Republican form of representative government. Like the late Rush Limbaugh once said, "no one should run unopposed."

Well, there you have it, folks! I'm sure the Attorney General is just as disappointed as I am with Bama's performance at Doak Campbell
