“When this many Presidential candidates are choosing to visit Alabama, it is proof the SEC Primary is working. The SEC Primary greatly increases the importance of southeastern states to candidates, and I am proud to see our state receiving the attention it deserves. It is so important that Alabamians have the opportunity to interact with all candidates in order to learn who best reflects their views.”
Alabama recently saw visits from former Florida Governor Jeb Bush, Dr. Ben Carson, Senator Ted Cruz, Senator Rand Paul, Donald Trump and Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker.
Additionally, Democratic Presidential candidates have been contacted for possible campaign stops in Alabama, but as of this release no visits have been set.
