The dilemma of the Alabama Democratic Party that its new chair Randy Kelley is charged with repairing is that it is ignored by Republicans, and unappreciated by Democrats. “I’m just basically pulling the party together,” Kelley said.
Not a word from Alabama Democrats on either Ivey or Wahl.
“I’m just basically pulling the party together,” Kelley said. “My focus is to heal and build upon it. We’ve lost a lot of ground in the last few years. And the main thing is building the party back up.” “I bring some different gifts, set of skills, to the table that most of my predecessors didn’t have,” Kelley said.
That’s not to say that Democrats can’t hurl a zinger or two at Alabama Republicans. Kelley spotlighted what he described as the GOP’s “hypocrisy.” With each election cycle, Democrats seemingly sink further into irrelevance. For the open north Alabama congressional seat created by the retirement of U.S. Rep. Mo Brooks, Democrat Laura Warner-Stanton reported having just $3,633 in her campaign account as of June 30 while Republican Dale Strong has more than $60,000. There is no Democratic candidate for lieutenant governor and the Democratic nominee for attorney general, Wendell Major, has just $1,409 in campaign funds.
