Picks for Colbert County?

 

Our friends south of the river have two very hotly contested races. Angela Hulsey is currently an ADA hoping to become the next district attorney. She's running against Hal Hughston III, a Tuscumbia attorney. 

Despite Hughston having outspent Hulsey, we're told they're tied in local polls. Both seem to be more than qualified; therefore, we have no recommendation in this race.

The contest for district judge is also close. We can safely attest that both candidates are more than qualified. Chad Smith is a Tuscumbia attorney, while Mary Baschab-Haslacker is also an attorney, practicing in Muscle Shoals. We've been greatly impressed by both and advise voters to carefully weigh their talking points and make an educated choice.
