Wes Allen's Hail Mary Falls Flat
The daddy’s boy would not even be where he is had his father not persuaded former Governor Bob Riley to promote him as probate judge in 2009. He likes to brag about his judicial experience on the campaign trail, but that is another story for another day.

Mo Brooks Fires Warning Shot at GOP Rivals: Calls Them Mellow, Says ‘We Need Fighters’ as 2026 Senate Bid Looks More Likely
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.”

Mo Brooks Torches GOP Bill Targeting Naturalized Citizens: “It’s Borderline Evil” Calling Secretary of State Wes Allen, Senator Donnie Chesteen and Representative Marques "Brainless."
> “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

Natural Born Hypocrisy: Wes Allen’s War on Immigrant Representation
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.

Merlot, Push Polls, and the Ghost of Finebaum Yet to Come
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.

Poll Leader or Paper Tiger? Wes Allen’s Premature Victory Lap in the Lt. Gov Race
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?
