I did not know so many Dems were running in Alabama.


...........


...............Fields is the director of the Alabama Wildlife Federation. Its mission is to promote the conservation of Alabama’s wildlife and related natural resources.

Fields is the only Black candidate in the Democratic primary. To win, he needs to do well among Black voters, but he also needs to appeal to suburban White Democrats. One issue that appeals to many White Democrats is the environment.

Fields faces a crowded Democratic primary with Doug “New Blue” Smith, Tuscaloosa Mayor Walter “Walt” Maddox, Chris Countryman, and former Chief Justice of the Alabama Supreme Court Sue Bell Cobb.

The major party primaries will be on June 5.
