Caroleene Dobson says she's backing Alabama Democratic Party Chair Randy Kelley in his quest to get 36 delegates seated during next week's DNC, and is calling out her opponent to weigh in.
A potential Democratic National Convention fracas involving dueling slates of delegates from Alabama has drawn the interest of the Republican candidate running in Alabama’s 2nd congressional district, and she’s taking sides.
Dobson said Figures should either support Kelley “and the Black delegates he is fighting to protect” or take sides with what she said were the “unelected delegates that are being forced down the throats of Alabama Democrats” by the national party. He added, “The name calling is pathetic, and honestly, just sad. As my 4-year-old son would say, ‘that’s not nice.” It’s the type of rhetoric people across this District are just tired of. I’ll pray for her.”Not support the Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025, massive document that outlines suggestions on a host of issues for consideration if a Republican is elected president.
Those comments followed a July 25 news release in which Kelley claims the Alabama Democratic Party “is the only bona fide group that can do business in Alabama for Democrats,” and is the “only group that can make rules for how Democrats are elected.” The statement also alleges that an “illegal, self-serving group” was usurping the role of the state party by appointing the delegates to the DNC.
