Dial, 88, said in a statement to 1819 News, “I am pleased to announce that I have officially qualified to run for election to the Alabama State Senate. It has been an honor to serve the people of Alabama in the past, and I am stepping forward once again because I believe experience, steady leadership, and a deep understanding of this job matter now more than ever.”
“Our district deserves a strong, conservative voice that puts Alabama values first and is ready to lead on day one. I look forward to earning the trust and support of voters as this campaign moves forward and to continuing my lifelong commitment to public service,” he added.
