Alabama’s Future Without a Senior Senator Looks Grim

Steve Flowers: “Some of you have inquired how Alabama will fare in Washington after Senator Shelby retires at the end of 2022.”

“The answer is that it will be nothing less than devastating for the Heart of Dixie. The amount of federal dollars that Senator Shelby has individually brought home is incalculable and irreplaceable. Alabama is going to be in the proverbial boat without a paddle in 20 short months. We will have negligible power in Washington and for a state that depends on federal dollars, that is not going to be a good position to be in for Alabama.”
