MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) - U.S. Rep. Artur Davis of Birmingham has
now filed paperwork with the secretary of state to run for
governor.
State law requires a candidate to file after spending $25,000 to
seek a statewide office. Davis filed paperwork Friday afternoon. It
shows that he is the sole member of his campaign committee for
governor.
Davis filed the state report after his congressional campaign
finance report showed payments to campaign staff and a rental fee
for the hall in Birmingham where he kicked off his campaign.
Davis is not the first Democrat to file with the secretary of
state to run for governor. Self-employed inventor Sam Franklin
Thomas of Huntsville filed in March.

His voting record on border security, enforcing immigration law, and controlling the flow of immigrants is not just liberal, but shameful.This guy is no more than a left wing nut.Before voters get all excited like they did with dumbO they better check his voting record.We already have the biggest embarresment in the White House this Country has ever seen,we don’t need to be embarrassed in Alabama.

If Folsom runs, I would vote democrat in this election, I voted for Siegleman against Fob James because of the lottery, then I voted for Riley because I found out all the crookedness with Siegleman, If Folsom ran, I would have voted democrat, but I will not support Arthur Davis, I think he is gonna be just like Obama, and It will be even worse for this state, now if Charles Barkley ran, I would vote for him.
