Malika Sanders-Fortier:
Bridge renaming bill gives us time to seek the will of God
[On renaming the Edmund Pettus Bridge, the site of the 1965 civil rights march]: "This proposed legislation on how to handle the name is a way to honor the local people of Selma who cross the bridge every day and it gives us time to seek the will of
God, not just for the bridge, but for our collective healing," Sanders-Fortier said. "I believe that we must create new ways of dealing with differing opinions in order for our nation to move forward."

Tim James:
Tim owns his faith in Christ as the foundation of his life
Tim owns his faith in Christ as the foundation of his life. Tim's background in business and his strong family ties have shaped his conservative views on politics. He is universally noted as a solid conservative who stands ready to defend
Alabama against liberal efforts to wage a culture war on the bedrock elements of America's foundation: faith, family, and freedom. Tim's father, Fob James, was a two-term Governor of Alabama.
There is a cultural war brewing and good men and women must engage. The Republican leadership in large part are what we call RINOS (Republicans In Name Only) or Democrats disguised as Republicans.
My primary motivation to enter the race is the constant barrage to turn this nation to something that it is not.

Tim James:
Faith in God first, family second in all policy decisions
We must protect our Judeo-Christian heritage, and if I am privileged to serve as governor, we will keep faith in God first, and family second in all public policy decisions. These beliefs form the foundation on which America was constructed and
undergird our constitutional republic.We will protect the religious liberty of our pastors and churches and will resist any federal order to shut them down, for any reason, as was done in 2020.
Nothing in the First Amendment or any law inhibits the legitimate free exercise of our faith. Prohibiting a high school valedictorian from mentioning the name of God or disallowing a public acknowledgment of God is an affront to the heritage of our
great country where our founders declared in the Declaration of Independence "with firm reliance upon Divine Providence." We may separate the functions of church and state, but never should we divorce government from the truth of Almighty God.

Faith-based organizations can participate in public programs
We support the rights of people of faith to the free exercise of religion, including every citizen's right to
apply religious values to public policy and the right of faith-based organizations to participate fully in public programs without renouncing their beliefs and without government interference.

Condemn activist judges who allow desecration of the flag
We condemn decisions by activist judges to allow the desecration of the flag and to deny children the opportunity to say the
Pledge of Allegiance in public schools. We support standing at the presentation of our national anthem.
