Dick Brewbaker and Caroleene Dobson, the two Republicans running for Alabama's redrawn 2nd Congressional District, engaged in a heated debate ahead of the upcoming runoff election. The winner will face the Democratic nominee in the November election.
MONTGOMERY, Ala. — The two Republicans running for Alabama 's redrawn 2nd Congressional District clashed in a debate that aired Monday ahead of next week's runoff. Dick Brewbaker, a businessman and former state senator, and Caroleene Dobson, an attorney and political newcomer, are vying for the GOP nomination in the April 16 runoff. The winner will face the Democratic nominee in the closely watched November election.
Dobson and Brewbaker traded verbal jabs in the debate as Dobson criticized legislative votes that Brewbaker had taken on taxes and business regulation. Brewbaker fired back that Dobson was repeatedly lying about his record. 'We don’t need to send a retired career politician,' Dobson said in her opening statement. 'If you send me, I’ll stand tall with President Trump against the left.' Brewmaker said, 'everything she has ever said about my record' has been a distortion.
Brewbaker led in the March primary, capturing 37% of the vote to Dobson's 24.76%. A primary runoff is required when no candidate captures more than 50% of the primary vote. The congressional debate was sponsored by WSFA and WALA. The two stations are also airing a debate Tuesday night between Figures and Daniels.
