Shomari Figures, a Democrat, is praising President Joe Biden. Republican Caroleene Dobson said it was Gov. Kay Ivey and the state delegation's hard work that enabled the grant to be secured.
Republican Caroleene Dobson of Montgomery faces Democrat Shomari Figures of Mobile in the 2nd congressional district race during the Nov. 5, 2024, general election.on the announcement Friday that Alabama was the recipient of a $550 million federal grant
Figures also said he was disappointed that news releases – issued by Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey, and Alabama’s Republican congressional delegation -- omitted any mention of Biden’s name, or U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg. Indeed, local and state officials within the Ivey administration have lobbied and met with federal transportation officials in recent years to push for federal support for a project that could cost around $3.5 billion.
Dobson recognized Trump, saying the GOP presidential hopeful has “publicly promised” to fund a six-lane expansion of I-65 through the State of Alabama “if elected to a new term.” She said an expanded I-65 will help “ease travel to the Gulf Coast and further relieve congestion.” Dobson and Figures are engaged in a fierce race for the 2nd district seat that became an open contest after the U.S. Supreme Corut last June ruled that an Alabama Republican-drawn congressional map was in violation of the Voting Rights Act of 1965.
