AL-2 Update

Alabama's 2nd Congressional DistrictThere is a rumor circulating that Montgomery Mayor Bobby Bright has been quietly “shopping the idea” of running as a Republican for the AL-2 seat. Bright has been long identified as a Democrat though Montgomery mayoral elections are non-partisan. (The district unquestionably trends Republican.)

If state Sen. Jimmy Holley (D – Elba) runs for the seat, he may run as a Republican. He has been one of a handful of Democrats to caucus with the Republicans in the state Senate.

In addition to the potential candidates mentioned before, another name floated as a possiblity on the Republican side is former Alabama Supreme Court Justice Terry Butts.
