The political context of Alabama
Brett is a candidate for the Republican Party, the historically strongest party in Alabama. For example, in 2020, the Republican candidate for the Senate in Alabama won 60% of the vote, compared to 40% of the Democratic candidate.
But Katie Brett isn’t the only candidate, as there are at least four other Democratic candidates. The party primaries will be held on May 24, 2022, but Brett does not appear to be a favourite, despite being the former president and CEO of the Alabama Business Council, and former Senator Richard Shelby’s chief of staff. However, it is supported by the Home Builders Association of Alabama, the FarmPAC of the Alabama Growers Federation, and the Alabama Retail Association’s Federal Policy Action Committee.
Elections will be held November 8 next year.
