Democratic Reform

Building A Democracy For The People, Not The Powerful.

Alabama deserves a fair government that works for the people, not the powerful. For too long, our state’s laws and elections have been shaped by big money, insider politics, and partisan gerrymandering instead of the voices of everyday Alabamians. Our democracy only works when it’s accountable to the people it represents, and right now, Montgomery is not working for us.

It’s time to bring transparency, fairness, and real competition back to our elections. That starts with making sure the vote of every Alabamian counts equally, every candidate earns their support honestly, and every elected official serves with integrity, not self-interest.

We can have a government that’s open, responsive, and truly representative of the people of Alabama and not the wealthy few, political insiders, or those who rig the system. Our democracy in Alabama is only as strong as the people who defend it. Let’s end corruption, restore trust, and build a government that truly represents all of us.

In the state legislature, I will fight for these democratic reforms:

  • Ranked Choice Voting: Voters deserve the freedom to fully express their preferences and not be forced to decide between two candidates they may not like. Ranked choice voting allows voters to rank candidates in order of preference, ensuring that elections are more fair, more democratic, and less polarized. It encourages candidates to build broad support, focus on actual issues, and appeal to a wide range of voters.

  • End Straight-Ticket Voting: Straight-ticket voting discourages educated, thoughtful participation and weakens accountability. Every candidate should earn their votes on their own merits and not ride the coattails of a political party. Abolishing straight-ticket voting will encourage voters to engage more deeply with local races and help restore focus on the people we are electing, not the national brand of a party.

  • Independent Redistricting: Representatives shouldn’t get to pick their voters, voters should pick their representatives. Alabama is constantly losing court battles over unfair redistricting practices that disenfranchises groups of voters. This has to end. I support creating an independent redistricting commission made up of out-of-state experts with no political or financial ties to Alabama. This will ensure our districts are drawn fairly, transparently, and free from partisan manipulation while giving every Alabamian equal representation.

  • Campaign Finance Reform: Alabama’s elections shouldn’t be for sale to the highest bidder. You shouldn't have to put down thousands of dollars to buy yourself onto a ballot in an election. I’ll push for strong campaign finance reforms that limit the influence of dark money and corporate PACs, requires full transparency for political spending, and encourages small, grassroots donations from everyday citizens. Our elections should be powered by people, not profit.

  • Protect and Expand Voting Rights: Every eligible voter should be able to cast their ballot easily, securely, and confidently. I will work to expand early and mail-in voting, modernize same-day and automatic voter registration, ensure polling places are accessible to all voters, and strengthen election security while protecting ballot access. Voting is the cornerstone of our democracy and it should be easier, not harder, to participate.

  • End Corruption in Montgomery: Alabamians are tired of backroom deals and political favoritism. I’ll fight to strengthen ethics laws and oversight, require public transparency for all legislative spending and lobbying, and enforce strict conflict-of-interest rules for elected officials. Public service should mean exactly that, serving the people.

  • Legislative Term Limits: Alabama’s politics have been continually dominated by career politicians who have grown comfortable with power and complacent with the people they represent. I support establishing term limits for both chambers of the Alabama Legislature to ensure continuous renewal and accountability in government. No one should make a lifelong career out of holding one public office. Serving in the Legislature is just that, public service. Not a career. And I believe in leading by example. That’s why I pledge to serve no more than 3 terms in the Alabama State House of Representatives. My goal isn’t to build a career as a legislator, I have absolutely no desire for that. I am running to make a difference in this moment, fight for working Alabamians, and pass the torch to the next generation of leaders ready to serve.

  • Ban Stock Trading for Elected Officials in State Government: I support a full ban on stock trading for all state elected officials and senior government appointees. No lawmaker should profit from the decisions they make in office, period. I would work to require officials to place assets in a blind trust, eliminate conflicts of interest, and restore trust in a system that has been tilted toward the well-connected for far too long. Public service should be about service, not self-enrichment.

  • People Over Politics: Our leaders have spent decades protecting the powerful and not the people who put them in office. It’s time for a new generation of leadership. One that listens, one that works, and one that fights for working Alabamians. Elected officials should serve the people, not the powerful.
