Clyde Jones, our great nominee to represent Alabama’s First Congressional District, is one of the candidates who will be at the Meet the Democratic Candidates event at 5:30 p.m., Tuesday, June 30th, at Andalusia City Hall Auditorium.

Clyde Jones, our nominee for the First Congressional District, will be in Andalusia at 5:30 on Tuesday evening, June 30, at City Hall Auditorium (505 E. Three Notch St). Come out to meet Clyde, learn about his platform, and share your concerns with him. After the state legislature’s special session and the Supreme Court endorsement of its redistricting moves, most of Covington County remains in District 1; the northwest corner, including part of Opp, has been moved to District 2. We’re calling the June 30th event Meet the Democratic Candidates. In addition to Clyde, Cindy Cook, our nominee for Covington County Revenue Commissioner, plans to be there, and we hope that some of the Democratic nominees for statewide office will also attend. Clyde made the video below shortly after the Supreme Court issued its ruling.

In accordance with Alabama law, qualifying for Democratic candidates opened today, January 5, 2026, at 9:00 a.m. and will close at 5:00 p.m. on Friday, January 23. If you live in Covington County, Alabama, and want to run for the Democratic nomination for sheriff, revenue commissioner, or Place 5 member (Florala area) on the Covington County Board of Education, please contact me, the chair of the county party, at [email protected]. I will send you the Declaration of Candidacy Form and the checklist of other requirements for qualifying. Candidates for these paid positions are asked to pay a qualifying fee to the county party of 1% of the annual salary of the position. Candidates for the County Democratic Executive Committee, the governing body of the county party, should file a Declaration of Candidacy form with me and pay a $25 qualifying fee to the county party, which will also serve as their 2026 membership dues. We need people to run for the county executive committee from each of the four county commission districts. According to the bylaws of the State Democratic Executive Committee, we will have a full popularly elected committee when we have four men and four women from each of the commission districts, or, in other words, thirty-two people. If you want to run for state office, such as state representative for House District 92 or state senator for Senate District 31, you will file with the state party. You can do that online at www.aldemocrats.org or by mailing or delivering in person the Declaration of Candidacy form and the qualifying fee to party headquarters in Montgomery. Again, I can supply the Declaration of Candidacy form. The qualifying fee for state positions is 2% of the annual salary of that position. If you want to run to represent our state house district, District 92, on the State Democratic Executive Committee (SDEC), the governing body of the Alabama Democratic Party, you also file the Declaration of Candidacy form with the state party; each state house district should be represented by a man and a woman. The qualifying fee to run for the SDEC, an unpaid position, is $50. Please consider running for something! As Republicans continue their misrule at the state, as well as federal, level, opportunities are growing for Democrats even in currently red Covington County.

Alabama Democrats believe in equality for all, the power of education, the dignity of work & our responsibility to each other.
