VIDEO: Attacks continue to fly in the Senate race, Jones keeps signaling a pro-abortion position, medical marijuana bill gets bipartisan support in committee and more on Alabama Politics This Week

Radio talk show host Dale Jackson and Alabama Democratic Executive Committee member Lisa Handback take you through this week’s biggest political stories, including:

— Will the attacks the top three Republican U.S. Senate candidates are leveling make a difference with voters?

— Do U.S. Senator Doug Jones’ (D-AL) repeated pro-abortion comments signal that he knows he is all but finished in this year’s general election?

— A surprising number of Republicans voted to move a medical marijuana bill in the Alabama Senate. Does this mean the legislature is going to actually get a bill passed by both legislative bodies?

Jackson and Handback are joined by U.S. Representative Bradley Byrne (R-Fairhope) to discuss his run for U.S. Senate, attacks leveled both against him by his opponents and the Democrats’ impeachment fervor.

Jackson closes the show with a “parting shot” where he discusses Alabama lawmakers’ attempts to reform Alabama’s bail system in a way that keeps bad guys in jail longer in spite of the moves in other states to lower or eliminate bail altogether.

Dale Jackson is a contributing writer to Yellowhammer News and hosts a talk show from 7-11 am weekdays on WVNN.
