Allison Montgomery proved something important: voters care more about a candidate’s beliefs, values, and policies than whether that candidate is a man or a woman. And she proved it in a deeply red state like Alabama! Her victory sends a powerful message that voters are capable of looking beyond gender and judging candidates on what really matters. Perhaps Republicans—and some Democrats—should take notice. The politics of division, discrimination, and attacking people simply for who they are are not what voters want. It’s time to focus on leadership, real issues, and policies that improve people’s lives.
Memo to the political consultants and Quisling Dems: if a trans woman can win an election in 𝑓𝑢𝑐𝑘𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝐴𝑙𝑎𝑏𝑎𝑚𝑎, then no Democrat in the country needs to be running on transphobia. Ever.
Speaking as a child raised as a Methodist in Columbus, Georgia (on the sleepy banks of the Chattahoochee River south of Atlanta), I gaze upon that astonishing list of trans winners and can truly wave my hands toward the heavens, as I shot with joy: "PRAISE JESUS!!!!!!"
This sho' ain't my grandmama's South no mo'!!!!!!!!!
I love this blue, pink and white wave!!!!! 🌊🏳️⚧️
Congratulations Allison Montgomery
A Blue Tuesday and light shines brightly in.

We needs to left them know!
Just love this. Grew up in Alabama -- who could believe it!!! Thank you, S. Baum and Erin!! 🏳️⚧️
Wow. I'm in Texas and I am shocked what happened here. And Alabama?!
Their hate and fear-mongering have turned the tide.
It feels like empathy and common sense are returning to America.
Yes!!!!!!!! So happy!
Pardon my language, but fuck yeah!
Alabama no less.
OMG!!! This is fantastic! I'm gonna have to change the lyrics and title of a classic John Prine song to "Angel named Montgomery".
It was a good day!! Now, off to WORK!
Awesome news about her and other trans candidate wins!!
Love her grit. Calling it out for real. Well said ( and reported).
More power to her. I hope to hear of her like in TN in 2 years.
Thank you, Baum, for the reporting.
