The Alabama Democratic Conference officially backs Shomari Figures against House Minority Leader Anthony Daniels (D-Huntsville) in the upcoming runoff election for Alabama’s recently redrawn second congressional district.
Democrat second congressional district candidate Shomari Figures is pushing back against longtime Alabama Democratic Party boss Joe Reed, who on Saturday insisted Figures and fellow candidate State House Minority Leader Anthony Daniels (D-Huntsville) be removed from Tuesday's primary ballot.
Joe Reed, the longtime democrat power broker and the father of Montgomery Mayor Steven Reed, has made another attempt at deciding who will be the next Democrat nominee in Alabama's newly drawn second congressional district.
Since 1977, the city of Montgomery has owned a significant portion of the front yard of Alabama Democratic powerhouse Joe Reed.
Last week, with the State Democratic Executive Committee electing Randy Kelley as the new chairman of the Alabama Democratic Party, long-time party boss Joe Reed showed that he was back in charge.
On Saturday, Huntsville Pastor Randy Kelley was elected chairman of the Alabama Democratic Party.
