In Birmingham, it's March 6th. Here's what is happening. Three candidates are vying to become the next chairman of the Alabama Republican Party. They include former Secretary of State John Merrill, Acting Chairman Joan Reynolds, and State Representative Scott Stadigan from Hart Cell. The election takes place this Saturday at the Party State Executive Committee meeting in Hoover. The position opened up in January when former chairman John Wall stepped down to run for Lieutenant Governor. Reynolds stepped in as Acting Chairman right after that. Merrill brings experience from four years as a State Representative and eight years as Secretary of State. Reynolds has focused on grassroots efforts as Vice Chairman. Stadigan, elected to the House in 2018, recently served as Majority Leader before resigning to pursue this role, drawing on his, business, background. All three emphasize stronger ties between the party, grassroots supporters, and State lawmakers. They stress recruiting conservative candidates, sticking to core Republican values like lower

taxes and less government and school choice. Close primaries came up a lot, with each open to the idea or supporting it outright to keep voting to party members only. Party members have shown strong enthusiasm for the candidates so far. The winner will aim to build on recent successes and gear up for future elections across Alabama's 67 counties.
