Lee County Democrats of AL

Jamie Lowe is concerned about healthcare. He pointed out that life expectancy in Alabama is 74, a decade short of some blue states. Republican policies are costing us 10 years of our lives, he says. Lowe wants accountability in politics and is done with “business as usual.”

Terrence Johnson was raised in Tuskegee. He wants to use his nursing degree and his MBA to improve healthcare, home health, emergency care and long-term care for Alabamians. Healthcare is personal, he says, and Alabamians should have access to quality, affordable healthcare.

Dr. Sidney “Doc” Brown has served as a teacher, a principal, a coach, and a college professor. He believes every child deserves someone who believes in their potential. Brown wants to expand pre-K education as well as workforce development for students in his district.

Pebblin Warren, the incumbent, has served as House District 82 rep since 2005. She chairs the rules committee, and she’s part of Alabama’s Rural Health Transformation Program. She’s working to find money to fill the gaps in Medicaid and SNAP benefits that have been decimated.

All four Democratic candidates for Alabama House District 82 spoke at our candidate forum last week. See the next posts for details on each. The primary is May 19.

BREAKING: Even Fox News' polling shows that Donald Trump's approval rating is taking a hit. When you've lost Fox as a Republican, you know you're in big trouble.

Trump on TSA funding: "I'm suggesting to the Republican Party do not make any deal on anything" Congress leaves town tomorrow for 2 weeks. They aren't going to have TSA money before they go. Blame the GOP and Donald Trump for all of this.

There is one person stopping our TSA agents from being paid. And that person is Donald Trump.

Jeff Ramsey spoke at our candidate forum last week. He is running for Place 1 on the Alabama Public Service Commission. Ramsey thinks Alabama is focusing too much on big corporations rather than on the needs of working-class Alabamians, and that’s what he wants to fix.

Senate Republicans FINALLY accepted Senate Democrats' offer to fund TSA, FEMA, and the Coast Guard while we continue to negotiate common-sense guardrails for ICE. Trump blocked the deal. He's holding YOUR safety hostage to avoid reigning in ICE's lawlessness.

Democrats introduced bills to end the TSA shutdown on: March 5 March 11 March 12 March 18 March 19 (x2) March 21 March 23 Republicans blocked TSA funding every single time.

I still remember when presidents had to be dignified, show some decorum, especially in the wake of a human being's death. Now there is no bottom, no leadership or humanity at the top.

Ron Sparks served as ag commissioner from 2003 to 2011. He’s running again to add law enforcement and ensure that no contaminated meats make their way into Alabama. “There is nothing more honorable than to serve the people of Alabama.” —Ron Sparks

Michelle French spoke at our candidate forum earlier this week. She is running for Alabama State House of Rep District 37, which serves parts of Randolph, Chambers & Lee counties. French is running on a platform of quality education, healthcare, clean water & infrastructure.

I want to be crystal clear: Democrats SUPPORT funding TSA, FEMA, and the Coast Guard. In fact, we've tried to fund these agencies MULTIPLE times. But what we won't support is writing a blank check for ICE's unchecked lawless violence.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Seven times. That's how many times Democrats have tried to fund TSA, FEMA, and the Coast Guard. And every single time, Republicans have refused. They would rather protect ICE's lawlessness than protect our communities. How despicable.

The President of the United States said I insulted Jesus. You want to know what insults Jesus? Kicking the sick off their healthcare. Bombing schoolchildren in Iran. Deporting moms and babies. Covering up the Epstein files.

Dr. Will Boyd @willboydforAL spoke at our candidate forum earlier this week. He is running for governor of Alabama on a platform of expanding the economy, providing healthcare to Alabamians, and reforming our prison system. Our next forum is April 20. The primary is May 19.

Dakarai Larriett @DakaraiL65133 was one of two U.S. Senate candidates who spoke at our meeting on Monday. His focus is on education, healthcare and economic opportunity. @DakaraiLarriett
