Democrats Announce for HD 12 Race
At a Democratic Party breakfast in Cullman County yesterday, Democrats Sheila Kretzschmar and James Fields declared their candidacies for the House District 12 seat recently vacated by Democrat Neal Morrison. Kretzschmar is a member of the Cullman County Board of Education. Hanceville resident James Fields pastors a church in Irondale.
Sources had told the Parlor that James Fields was unlikely to run, but if that was the case, I guess encouraging polling numbers (relatively speaking) can encourage a fellow to change his mind.
Democrat Ed Flaig, owner and publisher of the Hanceville-based Trinity News also announced his candidacy for the seat yesterday afternoon. The Political Parlor first took note of Flaig a year ago when he sued the town of Hanceville for $1 million. And we just don’t forget a detail like his newspaper listing God as its owner.
No dates for qualifying, primaries, and election have been announced by Gov. Riley’s office.
