This morning's Tusacloosa News brings news that my former colleague and friend Susan Pace Hamill, a law professor at the University of Alabama, is running for the Alabama state legislature.
Hamill, a Democrat, on Wednesday listed the core principles that she said compelled her to seek public office.
“I believe government must serve the weak equally as well as it serves the strong,” she told friends and supporters in front of Trinity Methodist Church. “I believe tax policy should be written not by those with the most lobbyists, but those with the greatest commitment to equity and fairness.
“I believe the quality of public education we provide our children should not be determined by their address, their race or the circumstances of their family. I believe the process through which government makes all policy should be premised on central moral and ethical standards.”
Here's an interview from Southern Spaces. And more from an Examiner story. It'll be an exciting campaign for sure.
