Alabama Farmers Federation endorses Dobson in 2nd District
Montgomery attorney Caroleene Dobson has won the endorsement of the Alabama Farmers Federation for Congress in Alabama’s 2nd District.
Federation President Jimmy Parnell noted Dobson’s family farm roots in announcing the endorsement by the organization’s two political action committees, FarmPAC and ELECT.
Dobson is one of seven candidates in the Republican primary. There are 11 Democrats running. The primary is March 5.
“Caroleene is one of us,” Parnell said in a press release. “She grew up on a fifth-generation cattle farm in Monroe County and understands the challenges facing farmers and rural families. Caroleene’s intelligence and personal drive gave her the opportunity to further her education and make connections throughout the country, but she never forgot her roots. Her devotion to faith, family and hard work will make her a strong voice for Alabama’s Second Congressional District as she goes toe to toe with those who are seeking to undermine the foundational values of our great nation.”
Dobson, a graduate of Harvard College and the Baylor Law School, practices real estate law with the Maynard Nexsen firm.
Dobson said she is grateful for the Federation’s support.
“I was born and raised on our family farm in rural southwest Alabama and took part in the hard work and daily chores that go into feeding families across our state,” she said. “Because we share deep agricultural roots and a common bond, the farmers of the Second Congressional District understand that I will always ensure their voices are heard in the committee rooms, corridors and chambers of the U.S. Capitol.”
