With low voter turnout expected tomorrow, AVRAL voters can make a huge difference. Every single one of us must head to the voting booth. Not all districts have run offs, but all of us can vote for John Merrill for Secretary of State. And a significant portion of AVRAL members are in House District 6, where Paul DeMarco is in a close race. We need to elect DeMarco! Grab a pen and paper for the run-off races below. John Merrill: Secretary of State Paul DeMarco: U.S. House District 6 With regard to state House of Representatives elections, we have a critical race in District 12, which is Cullman County. We strongly endorse Corey Harbison, who is running against incumbent Mac Buttram. Buttram has been dismissive of animal welfare issues in the past and actually voted to close the low-cost spay/neuter clinics in the state. VOTE HARBISON. In House District 43 (Jefferson and Shelby counties), Arnold Mooney faces off against Amie Beth Shaver. Shaver is a strong advocate for animals; her daughter even hosts a show about animals online. VOTE SHAVER. In House District 72 (Hale, Marengo, Perry ang Bibb counties), we endorse incumbent Ralph A. Howard who is running against Thomas P. Moore. Howard has always voted in favor of AVRAL legislation, so VOTE HOWARD. In Senate District 1 (Colbert and Lauderdale counties), we give Tim Melson the edge over Chris Siebert. VOTE MELSON. In Senate District 17 (Blount, Jefferson, and St. Clair counties), we give Brett King a thumbs up against Shay Shellnut. VOTE KING. In Senate District 22 (Baldwin, Choctaw, Clarke, Conecuh, Escambia, Mobile, Monroe and Washington counties), Greg Albritton faces Harry DOlive. Albritton has been responsive to AVRAL throughout his campaign and is a solid animal welfare supporter. VOTE ALBRITTON. In Senate District 30 (Autauga, Butler, Crenshaw, Elmore, Lowndes, and Pike counties), we strongly endorse Clyde Chambliss rather than his opponent, Harris Garner. VOTE CHAMBLISS. Lawrence County has two important run offs for county commissioner. In District 1, Mose Jones faces Jessie Byrd. Jones is a very strong animal advocate, so VOTE JONES. In District 2, Jeff Byars is running against Prentiss Davis. Of the two, Byars is clearly supportive of animal welfare, so VOTE BYARS. Remember that Alabamas animals are counting on you to be their voice on tomorrow. They dont vote, but we do. And with a low turnout expected, your vote is absolutely vital. Its a great chance for us to elect animal-friendly politicians. AVRAL members can swing elections in favor of better animal welfare policies and laws in Alabama, but only if you get out and vote! Head to the voting booth tomorrow, Dr. Rhonda Parker, state chair, AVRAL
