Alabama Congressional District 2 Republican candidate Caroleene Dobson is calling out the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) for lying about her connection to Project 2025.
The DCCC is launching a new billboard campaign in the district “highlighting Caroleene Hardee Dobson’s Project 2025 agenda to rip health care from people with pre-existing conditions.”
Project 2025 is a 920-page document put forward by the Heritage Foundation, a D.C. conservative think tank.

“If Caroleene Hardee Dobson had her way, Americans would have their health care and reproductive freedom ripped away,” DCCC Spokesperson Justin Chermol said. “Voters will hold Dobson accountable for prioritizing an extreme and dangerous Project 2025 agenda over Alabamians.”
Dobson’s campaign fired back, reminding the DCCC and voters that she has no connection to the policy proposal.
“As Alabama news outlets reported two months ago, Caroleene has never read Project 2025, is unaware of what it contains, and has certainly never endorsed it,” the Dobson campaign said in a statement to Yellowhammer News. “Like most Alabamians, her only awareness of it comes from the Democrats themselves in an attempt to conjure up fear among voters. The DCCC is spreading 100%, flat-out, bald-faced lies, and they, along with Shomari Figures, owe the voters of the Second Congressional District an apology.”
Dobson is running against Democratic nominee Shomari Figures of Mobile in the 2nd congressional district election on November 5th.
