    Isn’t this an interesting article on Senator Harri Anne Smith and the trouble her friend Ricky Stokes is making for local party Republicans in Houston County. Threatening people who oppose her because she violated the party bylaws.

    http://www.rickeystokesnews.com/article.php/will-she-able-to-run-as-a-republican-5396

    “Here is my interesting point.

    Alabama Senator Harri Anne Smith has been a Republican Alabama Senator for several years. She took a stand in the last Alabama Governor race and endorsed Governor Bob Riley. Held a Montgomery press conference giving her unwaivering support for Riley.

    When Smith ran for Congress, Riley supported another Republican for Congress. He mistreated Smith in that race. In fact, I stand on the fact he lied to Senator Smith.

    Senator Smith could not support the Republican nominee. She wrestled with the decision, and decided to endorse who she felt was the best man for the job. That man was Bobby Bright.

    You know the story, Bright won. He has been doing an outstanding job for the people in his short tenure as Congressman.

    Some Alabama Republicans are against allowing Senator Smith to seek reelection as a Republican. Some of the those are in Houston County. They have been friendly to her face, all the while knifing her in the back. I have heard their comments, have their pictures and will be posting them closer to election.

    Some of them showed up on the scene in Dothan and have taken Republican leadership roles, basically just showing up in Houston County.

    As you can see from Byrne’s facebook, Senator Smith is now on the scene, supporting a Republican. She is helping raise money for the Republican along side Dothan Mayor Elect Mike Schmitz.

    We need more American’s, more Alabamians, that support America, that support Alabama, and what is best for our Country, our State, our County, Our City. Not what is best for a certain party.

    The Houston County Republican Committee is trying to put the responsibility on Senator Smith’s Republican status on a certain group of “elite” out of touch Republicans. No one on this committee lives south of Montgomery. All the while, the local Republicans, some are talking two faced.

    You know who you are, I know who you are.

    Remember, it is not about the party, but what is best to move Alabama forward. What is best for the people, not a certain cocktail party group.”

    Rickey is a die hard Democrat and she is a Republican who supported a Democrat. Does the word “RINO” come to mind anyone?

    In House Dist. 39, former Cherokee County Probate judge J. Kirk Day is gearing up for a run against Rep. Richard Lindsey. Lindsey played a major part, behind the scene, of course, in Day’s narrow defeat in the probate judge’s race. Day plans to make an issue of Lindsey’s involvment in Sue Schmit’s employment, and conviction. Also, he plans to make an issue of Lindsey’s wife being paid by Gadsden State as well as being paid by a vendor who does business with the education system in the state. Should be interesting!!

    Long time Republican and community activist Joel Lonnergan has announced that he will challenge Blain Galliher in 2010 for his seat (District 30) in the Alabama State House of Representatives. Press release dated October 13, 2009.

  • Shane Grimes (R) has announced and is running an active campaign against Betty Graham, District 81, and Leon Archer has not announced to be a candidate and I suspect he may not like his name on this website.

    John Prophitt
    Chairman, Tallapoosa County Republican Party.

  • I found a link online also mentioning Shane Grimes as a candidate for HD 81. Thank you for the info on that, John Prophitt.

    I do not show Leon Archer here as an announced candidate (in bold), only as a potential one (in italics). I wonder what would be his objection to being mentioned as a potential candidate. Do we know that he is not a potential candidate?

    Thanks again.

    comment 50 – thanks for the bias love fest for harri smith. give me a break. you must be from geneva county and not from houston. there is no love lost for her in houston county. she embarrassed herself in her run for congress. she showed herself to be not well versed on the issues, lacking conviction, lazy on the campaign trail, a hypocrite when it came to negative ads, and a bitter and self serving loser that shopped her endorsement around before endorsing a democrat. And by your praise for a democrat (Bright)….I think we know where you stand on that.
    Smith wold have been better off not to have run and kept those qualities hidden from the electorate. She did not – and thus will likely bet beat should she be allowed to run in the GOP primary. You speak of her unwavering support for Governor Riley in his re election campaign but you leave out the part where she was going to run against him in the primary and was looking for support. When she could not get it, she then endorsed Riley to try and get as much attention as she could. Let’s just be honest about what she is all about. She is not a victim – in fact – things have been handed to her and she feels deserving and expecting as if she should have been anointed the next Member of Congress. Maybe she would have done a little better running for Congress if she had not gone around telling everyone what a good Governor she would make during the Congressional race. Ummmm…..wrong race, Harri. She could have stayed in the Senate for a while but now that people know what she is all about…she is likely done. Her campaign was a train wreck yet post 50 paints her as a victim. Amazing….

    i was referring to post 51, not 50 with my comments. I will also ad that citing rickystokesnews as a source is comical. The guy is a bail bondsmen with a website on the side that mainly covers car accidents and fire department calls. When he does give his thoughts on local politics it is always his point of view…which is his right….but it should not be called news….it is 100% his opinion and not un biased. he loves troy king and harri smith if that tells you where he stands….

    Jeremy Cline, a possible candidate in House District 11, will more than likely not be running against Jeremy Oden in the 2010 election.

  • Montgomery Voter

    Wonder who else will get in to HD73? I’ve heard that the ALGOP has been recruiting and that there might be a third primary candidate, but they’ve got their guy now with Walker, I suspect.

    Thanks, Jim, web page updated.

    Any other candidates/websites we’re missing?

  • Tyler

    Just to let you know, Rep. Owen Drake’s Website is: http://owendrake.net/

  • Mgm Insider

    Ricky Whaley’s website: http://rickywhaley.com/

  • waltm

    Added, thanks for the steer.

  • Intern

    David Pinkleton has announced his bid for House District 20.

    http://www.newconservativeenergy.com/

  • waltm

    Would be nice if his web site gave some idea of which party’s ticket or not, he’s running on.

  • Dynamic

    Waltm…I was just looking over the site, and David Pinkleton is a member of the Madison County Men’s Republican Club, so I would assume that he is running as a Republican.

  • waltm

    Am loath to list someone as something unless they state it. Remember what they say about assume. Looking it over, I did not see something like “seeking republican/democratic/green/theosophist nomination”, “running as whatever”, etc.

    He should use the Contact form or post here and will fix.

  • degan

    Jason Hurst is listed as a challenger to Steve Hurst in House District 35. Best I can tell, Jason doesn’t even live in that district.
    Ben Crawford has announced that he is a candidate for that seat.

  • waltm

    Degan, can’t find a press release in either the Daily Home or Anniston Star but found him on face book.

    FWIW, I’ve using newspapers to track candidate announcements so remember your local paper. If you have a website, facebook page, etc, please remember to include it in the release.

  • Dynamic

    I did a little more digging and found his facebook fan page which has him listed as a Republican candidate.

  • waltm

    Thanks, fixed. Let hope all of us learned something or the other from this. Added Sanderford’s Facebook page too.

  • bill harris

    in 2006 didn’t a guy named sikes run against wren for hd75?

  • Donald Wood from Oxford is running as a Republican for District 35 Seat. He is a member of the Air National Guard and a FEMA contractor.

  • waltm

    Not finding much to confirm (press release, news article, etc). Could because they be a lot of Donald Wood’s out there. Will add as a potential Republican candidate for now.

  • Susan

    Looks like Jeremy Walker has officially announced: http://www.walker2010.com

  • Mgm Insider

    The third person looking to get in the HD73 primary, I hear, is Twinkle Andress Cavanaugh. Also heard that Walker may not stay in that race if Twinkle gets in. I guess she is the “Shadow candidate folks are talking about.

  • Supporter

    Benjamin Crawford (House District 35) has an official campaign website up at:
    “www.crawfordcampaign.com”

  • waltm

    It would be one of those must have flash to view content sites… sigh

  • JamesB

    There is another candidate for State House District 20, and that is Frances Taylor. Don’t know if she has filed yet, but she has a website at .

  • Supporter

    The aladems.org website is reporting a Lindsay Ford, democrat for seat 40.
