Alabama Democratic Party stories
Party politics
Pushing back on comments from Doug Jones, state Dem chair Randy Kelley said the party's in great shape.
Party politics
After an abysmal 2024 election showing, former Sen. Doug Jones believes the ADP executive committee should make a change in party leadership now.
Opinion
It’s time for Democrats to get real. Our party has become perceived as soft, out-of-touch, and ineffective.
Featured Opinion
Problems rarely get addressed by government without someone forcing the conversation. You don't get conversations when one party can't field candidates.
State
In a lengthy interview, Joe Reed rejected some proposed ADP changes and said the DNC was "scared of" the Alabama party's Black leadership.
Elections
The ADP was ultimately successful in certifying its list of candidates.
Featured Opinion
Watching Alabama Democratic leadership miss opportunities for gain in order to fight with other Democrats is tiring.
National
ADP chairman Randy Kelley accused former Sen. Doug Jones of leading an effort to replace state delegates.
Featured Opinion
The CD2 race presents an opportunity for the Alabama Democratic Party. Failure shouldn't be an option.
