MONTGOMERY, Ala. -- Jefferson County Circuit Judge Mac Parsons says he's going to run for the Alabama Supreme Court next year as a Democrat, but he hasn't decided which of the three races he will enter.I'm going to run. It's just a matter of which seat," Parsons told The Associated Press. Parsons is the first Democrat to announce for next year's Supreme Court races. State Democratic Party Chairman Joe Turnham said Monday that two other circuit judges and a prominent Birmingham attorney are considering running as Democrats.
"He's a proven vote-getter. He's a populist who can turn a phrase and use homespun wisdom," Turnham said.
Parsons, 66, is wrapping up his second six-year term as a circuit judge. Prior to becoming a judge, Parsons served 16 years in the state Senate.
A attorney, legislator and Circuit Judge shows that Judge Mac Parsons has great amount of experience to be on the Alabama Supreme Court Bench.
