    In Alabama's 7th District, brave men and women bled, marched and died for the right to vote. That rich history makes Selma, Birmingham, Montgomery and beyond perfect places for Americans to learn about and engage with our nation's struggle for civil rights.

    If AL expands Medicaid, it could generate $2.7B in annual economic activity in addition to helping shore up our rural hospitals and local economies. If our state had chosen to expand, we could have seen approx. 12,000 new jobs across all sectors of AL’s economy in 2016 alone.”
