We are down to the final days of our 2024 Presidential Year. We go to the polls Tuesday, Nov. 5, to elect the next President of the United States.

We have no good statewide races in Alabama this year. All our important state offices are up for election in 2026. However, thanks to the federal courts, we have one doozy of a congressional race in the newly drawn Second Congressional District. It is not only the most interesting, important, entertaining contest in Alabama, it is one of the premier, pivotal congressional races in the nation. It may well decide which party has the majority control of the U.S. House of Representatives.
