The Democratic race for US Senate includes three
A State Senator, Attorney and Carpenter all enters the race for United States Senate for the democratic nomination on June 3rd. Sen. Vivian Figures of Mobile were the first democrat to announce her candidacy for the US Senate followed by Johnny Swanson an attorney from Birmingham and now Mark Townsend a carpenter from Haleyville, Alabama. All three democrats will have put their names and platforms before the voters within the next couple of months and make their case known on why they should be the democratic nominee. Figures has been hosting fundraiser across the State and campaigning in various areas since she has announced, but still have little name recognition across the State. Swanson ran for the US Senate as an independent write-in in 2002 against Sen. Sessions, and Townsend is a frequent candidate.
Sessions and Gavin will square off
Earl Mack Gavin of Lee County who ran for several other races as a democrat has qualified to face off with US Senator Jeff Session in the June 3rd primary. Sen. Session of Mobile is expected to win his primary election with a campaign bank account with over $5 mill on hand. Session will face one of the Democratic candidates in November.
