BIRMINGHAM – The Alabama Young Democrats support free, fair, and open elections everywhere. To protect our democracy, those elections, whether for public office or party position, must follow the procedures in place to ensure integrity within the electoral process. AYD welcomes the Credentials Committee of the Democratic National Committee’s decision to hold elections for Alabama Democratic Party officers following the rules and procedures set forth in our party’s governing documents, including fair representation for all.
Regardless of the outcome and who holds state party positions, AYD stands ready to work to ensure the Democrats win in Alabama, beginning with protecting the US Senate seat held by Doug Jones in 2020.
