The Alabama Republican Party

Birmingham – With three weeks remaining before the critical House District 6 Special Election, the Democrat candidate has declined to participate in a candidate forum with Republican Phil Williams.  The forum, hosted by both The Huntsville Times and television station WHNT on July 7^th, was to be televised throughout the district so that voters could hear directly from the candidates.  A similar issues based discussion was recently held during the Senate District 7 race.  The Alabama Republican Party  believes that the hardworking families in House District 6 deserve better than to be ignored by those who seek to represent them, and commend Phil Williams for his willingness to participate in the discussion.

Rep. Mike Hubbard (R-Auburn), Chairman of the Alabama Republican Party, compared the Democrat’s refusal to discuss the issues facing the district was a sad reminder of everything that is broken in Montgomery.

“In these economic times, taxpayers want to hear what their next Representative is going to do to create jobs and ease the financial burden on their families,” Hubbard said. “Republican Phil Williams has developed a 5-point plan for new job creation, and will continue working to earn the trust of voters based on his vision for the future of the district.”

“If the Democrats had a plan to create new jobs for Madison County, they would have jumped at the opportunity to participate in this forum,” Hubbard added.
