Will Dismukes: A Face of ALFA

 

Pictured is Will Dismukes, a Republican state legislator from Prattville outside Montgomery. Last August, Dismukes was arrested for First Degree Theft from a former employer. Now, over ten months later, Dismukes has finally been indicted for his alleged crime. 

Early in his career, the now 31 year-old Dismukes worked for ALFA, as his wife still does. Later, Dismukes worked for a flooring concern before opening his own company. His former employer brought the charges of theft against the legislator.

ALFA is also a large contributor to Dismukes, who astonishingly votes in that company's interest whenever possible (read: against animal welfare). We may assume ALFA Insurance would not benefit by losing Dismukes as an ally in the legislature.

We'll be watching this case closely. If Dismukes is convicted, he will automatically be removed from office. If that should be the case, we'll also be looking at those ALFA backs in the election to fill the vacated seat.
