It’s the first day of the legislative session in Alabama and the Governor is giving her “State of the State” address tonight. But we’re hearing that the Republican leaders in Montgomery will not bring up the one thing that Alabamians want: allowing folks to vote on a lottery!

Even in these chaotic and uncertain times, I hope everyone takes a moment today, Memorial Day 2026, to reflect on why we set aside this one day: to honor the courage and commitment of those who made the ultimate sacrifice defending ….

We can take power away from the special interests in Montgomery by giving Alabamians the power to propose and enact laws and Constitutional amendments. A bill introduced by Rep. Lands does that. Call you AL rep and insist that they vote to pass HB14, “The AL We The People Act”

I love it when I get the chance to meet a hero in person. For those who don’t follow Susan Perri you should. She has had such health challenges over the last few years but she perseveres, she advocates and she inspires. It was awesome to finally meet her. @perri4health.bsky.social

Folks, I won’t be watching the SOTU tonight because I know it will just be more of the same dog whistle rhetoric that stokes division. I’m running for governor of Alabama because I have a different vision. I want to build an Alabama where everyone belongs.

125 years ago, Buffalo Rock started as a family business right here in Alabama. Now, it employs thousands and significantly benefits Alabama's economy. My team and I toured Buffalo Rock's facilities in Birmingham last week and were so impressed by what we saw….

Black History Month is always a time for honoring and celebration, but as I said in my keynote at the N AL Black Realtists Association/ Nat’l Association of Real Estate Brokers gala last weekend, this year feels different and should also be used as a clarion call for action.

With all of the chaos in the news this week you may have missed the passing of Claudette Colvin, a true civil rights icon. It was Claudette who, at age 15, first refused to give up her seat on a Montgomery bus in 1955, prompting further action by MLK and Rosa Parks. RIP my friend

Man it was loud in Montgomery yesterday, but the messages resonated. We’re now less than 36 hours before the polls open for the May 19th primary. Make your voice heard - VOTE and together lets start a history making change in Alabama

Folks are frustrated with Dems in Congress right now. Here’s my solution - get the hell out of DC and hold some hearings. I love town halls, but we need to focus on people right now. Have folks come testify about how these cuts are affecting them. Get local media there. Make it real.

So I’ve made it official folks: I’ve filed the paperwork to run for Governor of Alabama. It’s time to remind this state of who we are and what we can accomplish together. #DougForAlabama

Does Ken Sim believe that anthropogenic climate change is real? As Ken Sim & ABC were rolling back progress on climate, and give a handout to Oil & Gas billionaires, @seanorr.bsky.social asked a simple question about climate change. Ken Sim gave the most embarassing, strange, and bizarre answer.

The war in Iran should never have begun, and it must end now. The human toll is rising, and families here at home are already paying the price at the gas pump. I’m continuing to push for a War Powers Resolution in Congress to end the hostilities and bring costs down.
