Voters in thirteen South Alabama counties in the 2nd Congressional District will go to the polls on Tuesday to elect the state’s newest representative in Washington D.C. This election is of the utmost importance to all Alabamians.
If the Democrat nominee for the seat, Shomari Figures is victorious instead of Republican Caroleene Dobson, it will not only be a defeat for Alabama values but also a huge factor in the battle for overall control of Congress. Here’s what is at stake:
Every household in America is feeling the impact of rising prices and record inflation. Figures will vote in lockstep with the Democrat’s agenda that has caused record fallout. After all, he worked for the Obama Administration and Merrick Garland’s Department of Justice.
Republican Caroleene Dobson, on the other hand, understands the negative effect of the current economic outlook on middle-class households and will work to reverse the policies that have led to a multi-digit increase in the price of groceries.
Figures grew up as the son of two liberal politicians and joined them in the family business: Democrat politics. To say he is a true believer in the liberal policies that would provide transgender medications to children and restrict the rights of parents is not an understatement.
By comparison, Dobson is a mother of two young children. She was born and raised in rural Alabama and did not grow up at the feet of political royalty. Caroleene is just like the rest of us and understands that we must protect the most vulnerable among us, our children. She also understands that parents should not be excluded from their children’s medical decisions, educational curriculum, or religious teachings.
Many people may believe that because Trump has Alabama locked up Christian Conservatives have no reason to go to the polls on Tuesday. Nothing could be further from the truth. Every conservative Republican in the 2nd Congressional District must go and stand up for our economy, our rights, and our values and vote for Caroleene Dobson on Tuesday. For those of us who do not live in the district but love this state and this nation, it is up to us to reach out to every person we know in South Alabama and encourage them to do what we can’t and vote to send Caroleene Dobson to Congress.
Corey Hill is a small business owner and the Mayor of Douglas, Alabama.
