In Their Words
What they have said, on the record
“I believe that facing Gary Palmer in November, I am the most qualified. I've spent 13 years as an elected official, with government budgets, transparency, maintaining a AAA bond rating.”
“All I've ever known is working people and middle class. That's what I bring—somebody to represent the interests of the middle class.”
“We have to go back to being Americans first and a party second. Let's figure out what we can agree on and pass things that benefit the American people.”
“Talking to business owners about how hard it's been for them here locally since we started seeing inflation climb, that was a big part of it. I want to sort of be that voice of reason.”
“Families across Alabama are making real sacrifices right now. Parents are putting groceries back on the shelves. Seniors are choosing between prescriptions and utility bills.”
