The Alabama CHOOSE Act (noun); a law passed in Alabama to fund private schools to choose which students they want to educate.

A sitting president doesn’t go to a safe state a month before an election. Alabama is in play, folks.
On Monday, our Democratic candidates attended the AFL CIO Conference in Montgomery, and asked for their endorsement.
It's a shame that the Party Chair didn't come today. Shame that he didn't come last fall when Labor Leaders asked for a meeting with state party leadership.
Surely if the DNC knew about these problems in Alabama, they would do something, right?!? Oh, they know. Here's what they've said Alabama MUST do for this Saturday's meeting. It's all hands on deck to document the myriad ways in which they are violating this Order.
Remember when Randy Kelley sued the Alabama Democratic Party because it elected Representative Chris England as Chair? This frivolous lawsuit, which he lost, cost the party quite a bit of money. al.com/news/2021/01/federal-…
In the letter shown below, Joe L Reed instructs local ADC leaders to ask for money from ADP County Committees and from candidates. He does this despite the fact that a county party giving money to ADC would be illegal. (It's called a PAC to PAC transfer.)
When my Senate Campaign bought an ad from the Alabama Democratic Conference in April (on a check made out to the Alabama Democratic Conference), I asked for a receipt. Despite multiple requests for clarity, this is all they would give me.
Chairman Kelley's contempt for me made national news.
I took his criticism of me seriously. If I wasn’t able to earn his trust by demonstrating competence and initiative, maybe I could earn his trust by doing less, being less visible.
(Spoiler alert, it didn't work.)
Jared Sluss is running for State Senate District 7 because he believes that loving your neighbor isn’t a slogan. It’s a responsibility our leaders must reflect in the choices they make and policies they fight for.
ATTN: This district is WINNABLE!
As the 2022 election was approaching, I was deeply concerned about voter protection (in light of the election denialism of 2020). I was attending meetings with state party leaders from other states and learning about how other states do Voter Protection (aka VoPro).
On the evening before Election Day, I sent an email to all the candidates, wishing them luck and giving some pointers on what to do (and not do) on election night.
Spencer Stone teaches teens about computer science in public schools. He's running against 89-year-old Jabo Waggoner, who has been in the Alabama legislature since 1966.👀 I'm proud to endorse him for the Alabama State Senate, District 16.
Chairman Kelley (head of the Alabama Democratic Party) made it clear to me very early in our 4-year term that he didn't want me to do anything at all. I asked repeatedly for approved ways to be helpful, but I was firmly rejected.
For example, many media outlets want quotes for articles and they struggle to get ahold of Chair Kelley, so they call me next. Responding quickly to media requests is important if we want the Democratic perspective represented in the media.
