John Wahl for Alabama Lieutenant Governor: The Conservative Outsider’s Vision
Wahl, who previously served as the Chairman of the Alabama Republican Party, emphasizes his identity as a farm boy from rural North Alabama.

My Day at the Talladega 500 with US Senate Candidate Rodney Walker—and a Sighting of Secretary of State Wes Allen
Allen walked in looking like Where's Waldo. In a sea of casual button-downs and race-day attire, he stuck out like a sore thumb. He was hopelessly overdressed, sporting that specific brand of political nerd aesthetic the screams he never spent a day at the Super Speedway

Not So Fast, My Friend: Why AJ McCarron’s Exit Won’t Save Wes Allen
Folks, this is not even going to be close. Pate, according to the last finance reports, has enough money to compete; when you put the two together, it is a no-brainer. You’ve got a down-home country boy that everyone can relate to versus an entitled little brat who gets his feelings hurt at every turn.

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.

Skydiving Without a Parachute: Wes Allen’s Campaign Just Hit the Dirt
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
