Caroleene Dobson, a Republican, received an endorsement from a former GOP presidential candidate. Dobson and Figures are embroiled in a heated campaign for the 2nd congressional district seat in Alabama.
GOP presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy sits down with media personality Megyn Kelly inside the spin room following the fourth Republican presidential primary debate on Wednesday, Dec. 6, 2023, in the Frank Moody Music Hall at the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa, Ala.
The two attended Harvard together around the same time; Ramaswamy graduated in 2007, while Dobson graduated in 2009. They both resided in the Kirkland House during the 2006-2007 college year. Dobson and Figures are locked in a tense battle for the 2nd district congressional seat on Nov. 5. Dobson is an attorney from Montgomery with the Maynard Nexsen law firm, where she is a shareholder. Figures is a former deputy chief of staff and counselor to Attorney General Merrick Garland in the Department of Justice.
The dynamics of the district were changed by a three-judge panel almost a year ago to reshape it into a congressional seat that gives Black voters an opportunity to elect a candidate of their choosing.
