"I've received a number of questions regarding the Special Session and election contingency legislation, and I want to address them directly. HB1 and SB1 are not about redrawing district lines or re-litigating maps currently before the courts. They are contingency measures designed to ensure Alabama can conduct fair, lawful, and orderly elections if ongoing federal litigation changes the legal status of the state's maps. During this Special Session, some of my Democrat colleagues have had a lot...

At a time when many voters feel disconnected from politics, John Wahl offers something different-a campaign rooted not in political correctness, but in faith, truth, and unwavering conviction.

A longtime ally of President Trump, he earned national attention when Trump gave him his complete and total...

There is a campaign video circulating in our state right now. A candidate for one of the highest offices in the land takes a piece of paper with a corporation's name on it, throws it in the air, and shoots it with a gun. He calls it campaign content. He posts it for applause. I will not name him. This is not about one man. This is about a sickness in our politics that has gotten worse every year, and if we do not say something about it now, it is going to get someone killed. In December of...

When you gut the protections of the 1965 Voting Rights Act, understand that Black Americans do not experience that as a political disagreement. We see it as war. DEAR WHITE PEOPLE, Before there was a Voting Rights Act, there were poll taxes. Before there were federal protections, there were literacy tests. Before there was representation, there was systematic exclusion. Before there was progress, there was blood in the streets and bodies hanging from trees. DEAR WHITE PEOPLE, Black Americans did...

April 15, 2026 - HUNTSVILLE, Ala. – While hard-working Alabama families sit down today on Tax Day to write checks to the government, State Representative James Lomax is exposing his opponent Mo Brooks' shameful, decades-long record as a serial tax-raiser who repeatedly voted to hit families, small businesses, and local communities with higher taxes, many of which are still costing families today. Since taking office just four years ago, Republican James Lomax has led the charge in reducing more...
During my tenure as a hospital administrator, I learned that health care doesn't stand still. Costs keep rising while patient needs keep evolving and workforce issues keep shifting. If the policies that support the system don't keep pace with these changes, then providers, patients, and families feel the impact quickly. That's why I've been paying close attention to the latest developments out of Washington regarding Medicare Advantage. Earlier this year, there was real concern about where...

As both a community member and a former administrator at the Northeast Alabama Medical Center, I have deep concerns about the payment levels that The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid's (CMS) program proposed for Medicare Advantage. This would have disastrous impacts on Alabama's at-risk citizens. Seniors and those living with disabilities depend on this respected and successful program for their healthcare needs, from basic doctor appointments to specialist care and preventive services. No...
