WHAT'S ON YOUR BALLOT?
Candidate responses to our community questionnaire
When SCOTUS sided with voting rights activists in Allen v. Milligan, it ordered the State of Alabama to draw fair maps that gave Black voters an opportunity at fair representation, and the power to elect a candidate who would represent their values.
This opportunity comes in the form of a new 2nd Congressional District in Alabama that includes parts of Mobile County and all of the City of Mobile. There were at least 12 candidates running to represent AL CD-2 in the primary election, but only two candidates – one Democrat and one Republican – will advance to the general election in November. On March 5th, no candidate from either primary got a majority of votes, so we will vote again on Tuesday, April 16th – this time, for the top two vote getters. Moving forward to represent the Democratic Party are Shomari Figures and Anthony Daniels. Moving forward to represent the Republican Party are Dick Brubaker and Caroleene Dobson.
Because of the importance of this district, we sent a Candidate Questionnaire addressing community concerns to all of the candidates, Democrat and Republican, in the primary, and asked them to share their responses by February 5th. Click the button below to learn more about AL CD-2 and read the full responses from the candidates who got back to us.
