Political Parlor readers have known for two months that former Democratic Lt. Governor Lucy Baxley has been talking about running for President of the Public Service Commission next year.
This weekend she confirmed to the Montgomery Advertiser that she intends to run, and you may be interested in seeing videos posted by the Advertiser in which she talks about a number of topics including her stroke one year ago, her campaign last year for Governor, leading the state Senate, and her candidacy for the PSC Presidency.
Stay tuned for more coming up here about the race for the PSC Presidency.

Sad. I wish she would just take it easy and enjoy her retirement years. She will lose this race.
I thought the same Jace. Politics is a disease, I guess.
A political campaign can be a way of learning retirement is an option. Think back to Jim Folsom’s last campaign.
On an unrelated note, when will papers quit trying to compete with TV stations/You Tube, etc? Print and still pictures are still the best way to give the news.
This may sound rude, but I think it is a legitimite question: what does it say about Alabama politics when the person that big-money supporters choose to run for important government decisions making important decisions about billions of dollars is someone over 70 years old who is recovering from a life-threatening illness?
In short, she needs a job and her daughter needs gainful employment. The real estate market isn’t so hot these days.
[...] Former Democratic Lt. Governor Lucy Baxley is indicating that she is in. We continue to hear that former PSC Commissioner George Wallace Jr. (R) is looking at a run, though the story is that if Sullivan runs for re-election then Wallace’s participation becomes iffier. [...]
Lucy should hope sullivan retires and does not run again. otherwise she will suffer another defeat. i do think its sad as she is a nice lady…but her time has passed.
There sure are a lot of hateful comments posted above. Lucy Baxley is a great public servant, and should be governor now. But, since she lost, I think this could be a great position for her.
Just a question to those of you that said she will lose – What makes you think that?
