Alabama Voters for Responsible Animal Legislation (AVRAL) HERE ARE OUR ENDORSEMENTS: ALABAMA RUN-OFF ELECTIONS ARE THIS TUESDAY, JULY 15! Low turnout is expected, and that makes your vote especially powerful. You are the voice of Alabamas companion animals. Everyone is eligible to vote in the runoff for Secretary of State. We strongly endorse John Merrill. He helped AVRAL get bills to the state House floor on more than one occasion. VOTE MERRILL. Many of you are from Congressional House District 6, which includes Jefferson County (but not the CITY of Birmingham) and the entirety of Bibb, Blount, Chilton, Coosa, and Shelby counties. Paul Demarco is facing Gary Palmer. DeMarco has always been a strong AVRAL supporter and active animal advocate. We need someone like him in DC. VOTE DEMARCO. 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 Tuesday, July 15. 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 on Tuesday, Dr. Rhonda Parker, state chair, AVRAL
