Voting rights, rising costs, and health care were among top issues identified by Democratic voters in Alabama’s redrawn 2nd congressional district, according to a poll released Wednesday by the SPLC Action Fund and the New Southern Majority, a federal independent political action committee.

Respondents were asked about the issues in several different ways, and also ranked public education, Medicaid expansion, and the need for more good jobs as high priorities.

The poll of 450 likely voters in the Democratic primary was conducted Dec. 16-20 by Impact Research. You can see the full results of the poll at the end of this article.

There are 11 Democratic candidates for the nomination in the redrawn district, which runs from the Georgia line to the Mississippi line and from Montgomery to Mobile. Eight Republicans are running. The primary is March 5.

The poll of Democratic voters indicated the Democratic primary race is wide open, with 47% of those polled undecided.

Rep. Napoleon Bracy of Mobile led, with 15% saying they supported or leaned to Bracy. Next was former Justice Department official Shomari Figures at 9%, House Minority Leader Anthony Daniels of Huntsville at 8%, Sen. Merika Coleman of Pleasant Grove at 6%, Alabama Education Association official Darryl Sinkfield at 5%, Rep. Jeremy Gray of Opelika at 4%, and Rep. Juandalynn Givan of Birmingham at 2%.

Sinkfield has withdrawn from the race.

Some of the candidates do not live in the district. The Constitution requires members of Congress to live in the states they represent, but not the specific district.

Residency in the district is important to those who responded to the poll. Eighty percent said they considered it a “very serious problem” or “somewhat serious problem” if a candidate does not live in the district.

The district has been solidly Republican but changed on the new map approved in October by a three-judge federal district court to give Democrats a chance to win.

Respondents to the poll were asked to choose from a list of 11 issues or problems what Congress should make the top priority. The top responses:

• Protecting voting rights: 20%
• Reducing inflation and rising costs: 15%
• Making healthcare more affordable: 12%
• Protecting abortion rights: 7%
• Criminal justice reform and holding police accountable: 7%
• Strengthening public schools: 7%.

Out of the 450 respondents, 78% were Black, and 64% were women.
