Yesterday afternoon, Brilyn Hollyhand and Caroleene Dobson teamed up at the Alabama GOP headquarters to energize voters ahead of the 2024 election in November. Hollyhand, an Alabama native and youth GOP activist, made a name for himself after founding the news service ‘The Truth Gazette” at age 11.
Hollyhand has since become a vocal advocate of GOP candidates and causes while conducting interviews with some of the Republican Party’s most influential figures.Brilyn fully endorsed Caroleene Dobson in the newly drawn congressional district that includes parts of Mobile, Troy, and Montgomery.
In his endorsement, Hollyhand said that “Reclaiming the White House and the Senate means nothing if we don’t keep the House. That’s why I’m proud to endorse my friend Caroleene in AL-2!”
“She’s a fighter who will be your conservative voice on the Hill. I’m committed to helping her win my peers’ support in November!” said Brilyn.
The youth GOP activist has already begun campaigning for Dobson, including reaching out to youth voters and making media appearances in her district.
