Sheffield Board of Education

First, let's keep expenses low: "Few, if any, teacher applicants with more than 5 years of teaching experience are getting interviews."

Then, let's keep it in the family: "Did you know that Sheffield’s board of education has another new member? David Myrick stepped down, and Titian Scales replaced him. Not a word of that has been mentioned in the Times Daily. Oh-Titian’s husband is the son of City council member Malea Scales. She replaced her husband, Gary Scales, after he committed suicide in 2018."

Oh, and we saved you the trouble: We looked at Titian's photo on Facebook, and, no, she doesn't. Go figure...

A Trump Tower for Florence?

An intriguing letter from ZAR:

Hello Ms Shoalanda,

Do you remember when Donald Trump visited Florence several years ago for a library fundraiser? He ate from the local McDonalds that night for sure.

At least one Ag Board member played a role in that event.

I wonder if it is true that because a Mr. Anderson of Florence owned an apartment in one of Trump's buildings in New York was the reason the TV star visited the Shoals? 

Someone at the last ag meeting speculated that the Anderson family may be investors supporting the county ran Ag Center. 

Will the Ag Board ever release public information? It has been requested. Any penalty for not doing so? Even if it is under a court order?

When the Robert Trent Golf Course and the Shoals Conference Center were built the City of Florence was forced to hand over the Renaissance Tower. 

Will the Ag Board pass a state law renaming it Trump Tower?

Be safe! People are getting crazier every day.

Your good bud ZAR

Signs of the Times in Sheffield & Waterloo

We laugh when we hear someone say they don't believe in coincidences. While true coincidences may be rare, they do happen. Two days ago we opened our e-mail to find a report on Sheffield signs from J. Redmon. The next e-mail came from our friend H.T. on Waterloo signs. Both towns seem to have the same problem with their signage.

From J. Redmon:

Sign? What Sign?

Oh, That Sign!

The above sign is on 32nd Street. Obviously the city inspectors aren't enforcing any vegetation laws here.

On to Waterloo. From H.T.:

The above are from, of course, Paradise Drive. We'll have more on this in a few days.

Lauderdale 911 Logs...Seriously?

We've always contended that a lack of information leads to many misconceptions, and the handling of 911 calls in Lauderdale County would seem to be a prime example of that. Other than the number of 911 calls (four) coming into dispatch concerning the June 8th boat crash, little that's been previously released seems accurate - causing many to blame the McBryer party unfairly in several ways.

According to the call logs on official record, the first call came in from a female passenger approximately two minutes after the crash. Why does the official transcript say almost 10:36, not 10:48 as in the handwritten call log? This is simply how it's done. Really? It took 12 minutes to write down a synopsis of a conversation. The three subsequent calls are similarly recorded several minutes after they came in. 

You can listen to the 911 calls on WAFF's website. Neither the female who called first nor the McBryer son who called second sounded impaired in any way. 

Three more criticisms of this whole debacle: Chad Dyer would appear to have bungled his end of the investigation. Is he withholding evidence due to medical privacy concerns? It's possible.

Then we have the deputy who told all of Lauderdale County and half the state that a certain Shoals attorney was at the marina that night with the McBryer party. We've never been able to discover his name, but no matter who the gossip is, Sheriff Rick Singleton needs to correct this problem.

We admire and respect Sheriff Singleton, but his deputies should know better that to disseminate any information about an active case. This has caused no end of problems for innocent people. How would you feel if this happened to you?

Oh, and let's be sure to add that Lauderdale County license commissioner Rodney Pettus has now been added to the list of conspirators helping some mysterious Mr. Big cover up something, whatever it may be. Tell us, Rodney, how much were you paid to sabotage the state boat registration system. Buying that condo in Orange Beach now? 

Finally, we have our own conspiracy theory: Someone has put something in Cypress Creek to make the citizens of Lauderdale County crazy.

Drug Testing at Sheffield High School

We've been sent two complaints from Sheffield parents concerning drug testing at Sheffield High School. This is not the testing of athletes or band members or even of science club members who may be making a presentation at a high school 40 miles away. This is testing, among others, the freshman who hasn't even yet joined in a school cheer at a pep rally.

So, is this a good idea? After we asked a few individuals, we were told that Colbert County schools do this as well. Welcome to the 21st Century.

Marijuana can be detected in urine for up to 30 days. So your little darling takes a hit at a friend's house on Friday afternoon while playing a video game, then is tested on Tuesday morning at Sheffield High, guess what? 

How is this student to be punished? Is it in the school's purview to even be punishing the student? We leave you with these questions...and hope you have some answers because we certainly don't.

Meanwhile, In Rogersville...

Which Twin Has the Mental Illness?

Okay, It Was A Trick; They Both Do.

Blake Jarmon Hired in Colbert County System

"Some people will complain when the sun rises in the east and not the west." We once heard a manager make that comment concerning customers at a local establishment. Unfortunately, it's very true.

A few years ago, a parent complained about some disciplinary behavior meted out by Blake Jarmon at a Muscle Shoals city school. In the speed of hummingbird having its morning tea, Mr. Jarmon was convicted of crimes against children and fired. His termination also conveniently eliminated him from the next central office position for which he was in line.

In Mr. Jarmon's own words:

First of all, I cannot say thank you enough for everyone’s comments, repostings, texts, and phone calls. I truly am grateful. It’s been a long 2 years, but I have learned that it’s all in His timing and not my own. I had to sit on the bench until God put me back in the game. During that time, I have grown so much in my faith, and that’s the biggest lesson! Never give up. Never lose faith. Stay positive. Surround yourself with people who are going to lift you up and hold you down. And most importantly stay prayed up!

Gale Denise Story Satchel David Yarber I will not let you all down.

#teamjarmon you all are unbelievable and I would not be where I am without all the parent support! #teamjarmon 4EVER

Yes, Blake will now be teaching at Leighton in Colbert County. Just look at how much that school has gained from all this...and all Muscle Shoals has lost. 

The UNA Frat Boys Said WHAT?!!!

Even though it was in the last millennium, Shoalanda can remember attending just a few UNA football games. The later the quarter, the more refreshed some male students would become. It wasn't pretty then, and it's certainly not pretty now.

We've all heard that some from Alabama A&M in Huntsville feel they were not treated especially well at a recent UNA home game. Some with whom we've been talking tell us that we don't know the half of it.

As the time clock ticked and A&M began to solidify its lead, the liquor flowed and some male students, described to us as "fraternity guys," began to use some very abusive language. Mainly it was the "n-word." Isn't that enough?

We're not sure how something like this can be stopped. Do we need second grade hall monitors to walk the perimeter of the field listening for racial slurs? Isn't this a sad commentary on our university and our town? 

We don't blame anyone from A&M if they don't want to visit Braly Stadium again. If this rivalry should continue, it will be two years before the Huntsville team comes back to Florence. In that time, perhaps we can instill a modicum of decency in some frat boys?

Parents, Explain Age of Consent to Your Son...Right Now!

First, we know your darling son would never take advantage of a young girl...not even if she looks 21 and says "Here it is!" Okay, but have you ever really talked to him about it? After he's arrested and convicted and on the sex offender registry for life, it's just a little too late.

We've seen some very interesting comments this weekend about a Marion County man who was arrested for Second Degree Rape. Apparently the charges can be upgraded if it's proved he influenced her decision to have sex by giving her pills. We're going to take a guess that it was homecoming wherever he was Friday night and he had a little nip and wasn't thinking clearly. Now he's in the slammer. 

If your teenage son is a paragon of chastity, explain Second Degree Rape to him anyway. If he's 18, he'll be charged as an adult, placed in jail with adults, and it's remotely possible he'll be put in prison with adults. Think about that and have that talk now.

Jared Brown

Now let's return to alcohol and homecoming or whatever party is taking place on any weekend. We know that 19 is certainly an adult and that parents are not legally responsible for their child's actions. That doesn't mean they shouldn't try to influence them for good.

If you know your darling daughter likes to drink, likes to steal, likes whatever perversion is popular at the moment, you still owe it to her to at least attempt to guide her in her choices. If you don't do that, please don't be complaining about the unfair legal system that arrests upper middle class thieves.

Alasia Jade Montgomery

Almost every week we receive e-mails about unfair laws. One man once told us only murder should be against the law. If you don't like a law, talk to your state legislator to have it changed. If he's not busy padding his pockets with bribes from ALFA he may even help you with it.

Does UNA Make Money on Its Sports Programs?

We recently linked a letter to the TimesDaily editor. The writer was very critical of the local university's need for a new football stadium. Does he have a point?

First, we would love to see UNA have its own stadium. Now that Braly is owned outright by Florence City Schools, it seems only fair that UNA have its own. Simply wishing for something does not, unfortunately, make it practical. Our main surprise from the facts presented in the letter was the small percentage of Division I schools making money from their athletic programs. Hadn't it been said that UNA should begin paying its athletic way in ten years?

UNA plays in the FCS division of Division I. There are currently 126 such schools playing in the 2019-2020 school year. 130 more play in the FBS division (think University of Alabama or Auburn University). How many of these 256 schools have athletic programs which pay their own way?

Our letter writer referenced 20. Surely that's not right? Or is it? We did our own research and found the number 24 mentioned. Only 20 to 24 out of 256 make money from athletics? Apparently so, and most if not all of these are FBS schools.

Athletic programs can obviously make an institution attractive for prospective students. They can even bring in the rare true scholar who wants to teach at the college level. Every thing in life is a trade off, but is this an equitable trade off?

We see our blog had one illogical critic who claimed we hate UNA. No, we love UNA. That's why we want the college to grow in areas where it's capable of growing. Many former professors at the college taught us how to think for ourselves and not to believe every PR line spouted from those who simply want our dollars. 

Let's be proud of UNA for its first class scholarship...not it's fifth class athletics.

It's Only Money...

UNA Aligns with ALFA

ALFA is well known for its support of animal abuse in this state. The insurance giant opposes any anti-cruelty law that comes before the legislature. Why?

ALFA's position is that once a law is passed to protect companion animals, it's only a short step to enforcing the same law apply to farm animals. We certainly all know of goats and pigs who are chained to trees in the hot sun and freezing cold. No, wait. We don't know of any such animals because there aren't any. Dogs make up 99.9% of the animals in the state who are cruelly made to suffer in all kinds of weather. 

ALFA's actions don't seem to matter to the University of North Alabama which has entered into a kind of compact with the malicious organization. ALFA will be, presumably, offering financial assistance to its employees who attend UNA. What UNA will be getting in return is anyone's guess. Yes, the press release was that nebulous (Apologies to the extremely accomplished author. We know you have to write what you're told.)

The bottom line would seem to be that UNA is willing to support ALFA in return for financial gain. Is anyone surprised?

There will soon be a new legislative session in the state. Many are prepared to fight ALFA in every arena concerning its malevolent actions harming animals. If the company thinks it suffered financially last year, just wait until the next session if it opposes much needed animal welfare bills.

Or Your House Fire Or Your Anything Else!

UNA Facing Two PR Debacles

In the space of a week, the University of North Alabama has been called the bad guy in two very different situations. Was it? Let's just say recent university actions are not coming across as the most desirable.

First, many connected to Alabama A&M University in Huntsville have commented on the ill-treatment they received while at the football game last Saturday. Most of the objectionable actions seem to have originated with either University of North Alabama Police or hired security forces. 

A&M has played UNA for years...and years. This is the first time we can recall any comments concerning ill treatment by our local university. To any who may have felt slighted, we apologize for the behavior of anyone connected to our university.

UNA has issued a joint statement with A&M; however, it said nothing. Oh, it contained a lot of words, but it said nothing of any import. We're told the situation is being investigated. Let's hope any inquiry is more productive than the joint statement.

Next: UNA Partners with ALFA!

Nor Will I Be Visiting Florence Again!

Remember John Elkington's Germantown Town Center?

Memphis developer John Elkington currently has three projects in the works, but as recently as two years ago, he was heavily involved in the Germantown Town Center. Elkington was the mastermind behind the project, while Atlanta investment company Carter Developments was bankrolling the proposed super center.

We've mentioned before that the project stalled, but due to recent developments with the property, the owners announced that Carter had completely backed out. The huge and valuable tract was to have been sold for taxes on July 30th, but apparently the owners came up with the funds to prevent losing the family land. 

Why did Carter Developments decide to abandon the project? We're sure someone out there knows, but we don't. 

That brings us to Inspiration Landing; John Elkington has never specified who the investors are in this long awaited development. Are there any? Remember, so far Elkington has invested little to no money in Inspiration Landing. He is about to have the property deeded to him.

Here's one scenario: Elkington's attorneys claim the City of Sheffield has not upheld its end of the bargain. Elkington owns the property outright at this point, so he decides to develop the land into an uber upscale waterfront community. Remember, his engineering consultant on IL is a home builder.

What would homes located on the river bluff be worth? Let's just say that the bloggers at Shoalanda Speaks wouldn't be able to purchase one. Would you?

So will this be a victory for Sheffield or a sad debacle? We're calling the popcorn concession...

Remember When Rick Thompson...

...helped a Florence department head kill a young man and hide the body? That was the story for years and it had so much detail that you would believe there had to be truth to it. Except there wasn't an ounce of fact in the tale. When the case was finally solved, it was a local drug dealer who had killed the youth.

Remember when a Littleville teen killed a young McDonald's manager over a girl and made it look like robbery? This young man lived under that cloud for years until two serial killers were revealed to have robbed the small Muscle Shoals store.

Remember when a Florence City Council member gave his brother-in-law a plum job manufactured just for him? Even this blog published that little tidbit. The problem was the incompetent man may have been a friend to the council member, but he wasn't married to the elected official's sister. Did we eat crow over that one!

These memories are prompted by a question we recently received. Wasn't Lauderdale County district attorney Chris Connolly actually on the cabin cruiser involved in the Shoal Creek boat crash? That's how these stories morph into such a mountain of speculation and untruths. 

We're guessing Chris Connolly at this point is wondering why he ever wanted to be a district attorney in an area that could properly be called an idiocracy. 

Red Nails It Again...

Dr. Will Boyd Has a Plan for Our State

Will Boyd of Florence was the Democratic nominee for Lt. Governor in 2018. Dr. Boyd is a man of many accomplishments, not the least of which is that he never got drunk and stole a tiger. It's always interesting when the people of Alabama speak. 

Here is a press release from Dr. Boyd concerning his vision for the very troubled Alabama Democratic Party:

I believe Alabama Democrats can win again when we clearly show that our party possesses the true spirit of America—hopefulness and optimism.  Alabama Democrats must remind fellow Alabamians that it was the Democratic Party that gave America:

• social security and Medicare;
• minimum wage and overtime laws;
• unemployment insurance and labor protection; as well as
• equal opportunities for women and minorities.

The Alabama Democratic Party must constantly remind Alabamians  that  its  core  values  which  include equality, fairness, and freedom inspired its party members to push for progress so that all Alabamians have equal opportunities to realize the American Dream.

The Alabama Democratic Party must counteract attempts to mislabel Democrats by constantly letting voters know our party has morals and values that include helping the poor and fighting to keep Alabama families together!

Now is not the time for us to remain divided into silos within the Alabama Democratic Party—seeking to hold on to power that is only shared amongst a few who once had a vision for change.  Now is the time for all Democrats to work alongside each other to fight for:

• ethical excellence,
• economic development,
• educational equity,
• exceptional healthcare for all,
• equal justice for all, 
• ending voter suppression, and
• ensuing all Alabamians have their voice heard at the ballot box and a “seat at the table.”

To take back the statehouse and win local elections up and down the ballot, change must begin at the top of the ADP.  There needs to be transparency and improved lines of communication between the ADP chair, officers, the SDEC board, SDEC members, and county chairs.  This transparency will restore trust in the Alabama Democratic Party leadership and inspire donors who once supported Democrats to confidently invest in a winning Democratic strategy and prayerfully be proud to publicly identify as a Democrat donor.

To execute a statewide winning strategy that ensures Democrats who believe in our party’s ideologies are elected “up and down the ballot,” the ADP must: 

1.  fullyorganizeprecincts and legislative districts—canvasing and using tools like Votebuilder and miniVan to:     

• disseminate targeted candidate and party messaging/materials and
• collect data to be used in local, district, and statewide races;

2.  recruit energetic candidates who can clearly communicate the ADP platform and our core values, providing:

•  public speaking classes and 
•  Dale Carnegie training to help candidates better communicate with future constituents;

3.  connect voters and potential voters with county parties, democratic organizations within their county, legislative district, or congressional district to collaborate canvasing efforts;

4.  build better coalitions between all Democrat groups (i.e. DNC, ADC, ADRC, AFDW, AYD, High School Democrats, etc.) for the purposes of networking and discussing best practices for engaging with voters;

5.  partner with “Democrat-leaning” groups (i.e. Organized Labor, and the Alabama Education Association), 

• inviting their leadership to serve as ex-officio members of local and state democratic executive committees, and 
• collaborating to better train organizers and volunteers in The Party;

6.  improve communication within the ADP and with voters/potential voters by utilizing social media (Facebook, Twitter, & Instagram) while also heavily investing in tools for micro targeting voters (i.e. geo-fencing and messaging by voting history).  Furthermore, the ADP should: 

• allow SDEC members to have access to each other’s contact information
• publish a centralized calendar (below) for county chairs, organizations, and candidates, and
•  provide material for each county’s social media team;

7.  increase transparency within the ADP, beginning with:

• provision of at least a two-month notice for biannual meetings of the SDEC, and
• provision of access to the budget, funds, and financial activities to all SDEC members and county chairs; 

8.  raise needed funds to retire the ADP debt and produce high quality podcasts, radio programs, and commercials for election cycles.  Specifically, the ADP chair will cultivate relationships with past, current, and prospective donors for the specific purposes of:

• planting Alabama Democratic Party regional offices in the seven congressional districts,
• providing funding to each of the 67 democratic executive committees (parties or clubs) to have at the minimum one storefront headquarters location in each county for the months between the Primary and General Election,
• purchasing air time on local radios, 
• placing ads in print media across the state, and
• producing/inserting statewide commercials in four major television markets across the state during the months leading to the General Election; 

9.  re-brand the ADP as the party for the poor and working people as well as the party in Alabama that is pro-family, pro-business, and pro-Labor;

10.  continually communicate our party’s core values which include freedom, fairness, and equity; 

11.  revive Democratic congressional districts to provide greater support to the county chairs, elected officials, SDEC members, candidates, organizers and volunteers by:

• inviting all elected Democrats, SDEC members and county chairs to attend congressional clusters to discuss more specific strategies for winning elections and
• providing county chairs a local network for collaboration and sharing of best practices; 

12.  provide every candidate who becomes the party’s nominee for any local or state office with access to Votebuilder free of charge; 

13.  connect candidates who qualify to run for statewide office with members of the legislature for the purposes of coaching, mentoring, and learning about fundraising; 

14.  protect the right of every Alabama voter to be heard at the ballot box—working to end voter suppression and unjustly purging of voters for reasons other than death and crimes of moral turpitude, partnering with groups like the NAACP and other civil rights or social justice groups seeking equal justice and desirous of protecting the rights of voters and the reinstatement of voter rights;

15.  educate county chairs, candidates, organizers, and poll watchers on the proper steps to take to address engagement in voter fraud or voter suppression;

16.  inspire and support organizations outside the party to promote voter engagement (i.e. sororities, fraternities, college organizations, and community action agencies);

17.  encourage each county party to start a legislative action committee whose sole purpose will be to follow statehouse activities and help educate voters throughout the year so that they become more aware of the ways the opposition seeks to use ballot measures to divide the electorate;

18.  launch an ADP podcast and YouTube channel produced by Alabama Young Democrats and Alabama High School Democrats;

19.  appoint a political strategist to assist the ADP Chair and vice-chairs in crafting and executing a strategy to ensure that U.S. Senator Doug Jones is re-elected and as many Democrats as possible win in 2020 with the goal of “turning Alabama blue” by 2022; and

20.  work closely with the vice-chairs of county affairs, minority affairs, youth affairs, and labor to

• ensure there are regularly scheduled meeting of county chairs (all 67) and meetings by congressional districts,  
• ensure that all minorities feel they have a place in the party and are not taken advantage of only at election time while also ensuring that the ADP follows utilizes a clear and fair formula to determine the number of at-large members to be added to the SDEC by the ADC as prescribed by court ruling (currently 22% of the SDEC—34 males and 26 females),
• partner with Organized Labor to:

                    1.  help more high school students explore in blue collar jobs,

                    2.  help more Alabamians seeking work to enroll in labor training schools, and

                    3.  fight together for the rights or “working families” in Alabama.

• ensure that AYD, ACD and all other “Democrat-leaning” organizations primarily comprised of youth (40 years or younger) are supported by the ADP and fully integrated into all ADP activities that engage younger voters and high schoolers approaching voting age.  Specifically, the ADP should encourage as many youth in the Democratic Party as possible to take an active part in the leadership and management of organizing efforts, mobilization of voters, recruiting of candidates, facilitating town hall meetings, leading rallies on college/university campuses, and moderating candidate forums.

Suggestions for ADP Meetings

In efforts to improve communication and transparence with the Alabama Democratic Party, I propose having:

• monthly meetings with the SDEC executive board which is comprised of a male and female from each of the state’s seven congressional districts;
• biannual joint meetings with the ADP Officers and SDEC Executive Board—with the focus on preparing for biannual SDEC meetings;
• quarterly meetings with each of the seven congressional districts and their respective SDEC members, county chairs, and club presidents; and
• two biannual statewide meetings for all democrat leaning organizations (ADP, ADC, Young Democrats, Alabama Federation of Democratic Women, Young Democrats, College Democrats, High School Democrats, etc.) to promote unity, preparedness, and connectedness amongst Alabama Democrats.

Training for county chairs/vice chairs

Because the county chairs and vice-chairs are “on the front lines” in every one of Alabama’s 67 counties, officially carrying out duties prescribed by the Alabama Democratic Party, Secretary of State, and probate judges within each respective county, I propose annual training sessions for county chairs and vice chairs before or after regular biannual meetings of the SDEC.  I propose covering the following county level activities:

• Election/duties of local executive committee officers
• Ways to organize local executive committees/county parties
• Duties of local executive committee officers
• Expectations for electronically reporting data to ADP and FCPA
• Steps county chairs and candidates should take to solicit and accept contributions
• Ways to conduct meetings
• Election duties and expectations
• Communication
• GOTV
• Ways to organize and canvass by precinct
• Poll worker appointments and qualifications
• Poll watcher appointments and activities
• Suggestions for following legislative action

Online resource center for county chairs and candidates

In additional to biannual statewide training sessions and quarterly meetings with county chairs by congressional districts, I want the Alabama Democratic Party to embrace technology more by making the following forms, documents, manual, and templates to be available on the ADP website: 

• Democratic County Chair Manual
• Qualifying forms that can be edited online and printed for notarization
• Forms to submit to probate judges to certify candidates
• Public notices for county chairs to use to announce process of recruiting candidates
• Outline of expectations for poll workers
• Appointment of Poll Watchers (for county chairs)
• Names and contact information for SDEC members (who also serve as ex-officio members of their respective local county executive committees)
• Letters to executive committee members 
• Press release templates
• Sample letters (Qualifying, Public notices, nomination and certification of candidates to probate judge) 
• Flowchart of relationships between the ADP and other Democratic entities  (i.e. DNC, ADP, local executive committees, ADC, Young Democrats, county democrats, Alabama Federation of Democratic Women, College Democrats
• Providing ways for candidates seeking nomination to access forms online to declare candidacy through ADP Chair (if seeking federal, state, circuit, district or legislative office) or county chair (if seeking county office)

Statewide Administrative Calendar

In efforts to better assist county chairs and candidates with administrative deadlines observed by the Alabama Democratic Party, the Alabama Secretary of State, and local probate judges, I propose developing and disseminating a statewide administrative calendar the includes the following:

• Last day candidate can withdraw their name from ballot (78 days before election)
• Days in which ADP Chair and county party chairs must certify names of primary candidates to secretary of state or county chairs must certify names of candidate for county office to the probate judge
• Days in which county chairs must approve poll watchers and ensure they attend training sessions
• Days when county executive committee members must meet and receive, canvass, and tabulate returns by precinct and publicly declare results
• Date in which the ADP chair and executive committee must meet at state capital and receive, canvass, and tabulate returns and provide the Secretary of Sate with state primary election returns by prescient
• Last day to apply for an absentee ballot (for primary or general election)
• The last day for military and other UOCAVA voters to postmark an absentee ballot returned by mail to the absentee election manager.
• The last day candidates in an election can accept contributions to retire a campaign debt.
• Legislative blackout periods
• Last Day to Register to Vote in Primary or General Election
• Primary & General Election Dates
• Qualifying Dates

Statewide Events Calendar

As outlined in my 20-point initiative for the Alabama Democratic Party to move forward, I strongly believe we can stand better united as a party if we have a centralized calendar that can be shared by all 67 county executive committees and parties. I propose that our statewide ADP calendar provide dates and times for Democratic events that include:

• Debates
• Town Halls
• Cookouts
• Fundraisers
• SDEC Board Meeting Dates
• SDEC Meeting Dates 
• Democratic Congressional Meeting dates
• Legislative Sessions

I am thankful for all who have worked hard to serve Alabama’s Democratic Party.  I believe it is time to move the party forward with a bold new vision.  I hope my proposed initiatives give members of Alabama’s Democratic Party a clear understanding of my desire to lead our state forward and win big in 2020 and many years to come!

Uh Oh! Will Ainsworth Is At It Again!
