Reflecting on 2019 and setting goals for 2020

Even after New Year’s celebrations have died down, the beginning of the year is a time to reflect on the past and set goals for the year to come. I’m proud of all that we’ve been able to accomplish since I was sworn in to the Senate in January of 2018, but there’s still so … Continued

The insanity of 2020

This is my last column. Until next year. Don’t want you to get too excited. It may be a time to reflect on the past 12 months. Or, better, a time to look ahead. 2020 is going to be a big year in Alabama and nationally. The U.S. Senate will at some point hold an … Continued

2020 U.S. Senate race

The long hot summer has brought some crystallization to the 2020 U.S. Senate race. This seat is the Senate Seat held by Senator Jeff Sessions for almost two decades.  He unwittingly made a strange and probably very regrettable decision to join President Donald J.

Roby reports strong financial position going into next year’s election

Congresswoman Martha Roby, R-Montgomery, reports solid fundraising numbers and does not have an opponent in sight as the 2020 election cycle is drawing near. The situation was much more dire coming into the 2018 election. Roby looked then like the most vulnerable member of Alabama’s congressional delegation.
