Alabama families are working hard and they deserve a state government that works just as hard for them. Doug is running to put people first, lower costs, expand opportunity, and restore trust so that every individual and every community has a real seat at the table.
Skim the priorities below, then select any of them to see Doug’s plan, the steps he’ll take, and the results Alabamians can expect.
What this means: As Governor, Doug will declare a one year moratorium on data centers until we ensure every community is informed and protected.
No tax breaks for data center companies, no secret deals, no nondisclosure agreements signed by politicians taking hundreds of thousands of dollars from data center companies. None of the corruption.
What this means: Immediate relief + higher take-home pay so hard work pays off again.
Doug’s plan focuses on lowering everyday costs and making government more accountable. He would suspend the state gas tax when prices spike to provide fast relief, fully eliminate the grocery tax so families keep more of their money each week, raise wages including the minimum wage, end taxes on overtime, and protect accountability at the Public Service Commission while pushing for real public representation in PSC decisions.
What this means: Remove barriers to work, raise pay, and grow opportunity statewide — not just in a few places.
Doug’s plan is focused on making work pay and opening more pathways to opportunity. He would create a state Earned Income Tax Credit, expand childcare options, provide free community college for adults without credentials, strengthen apprenticeship incentives, and cut red tape through reforms like occupational licensing changes.
What this means: Lower costs, keep rural hospitals open, and bring federal dollars home to strengthen Alabama’s workforce.
Doug’s plan would expand Medicaid to cover more than 154,000 working Alabamians, stop Alabama from turning down roughly $182 million in federal healthcare funding each year, strengthen rural healthcare, and reduce uncompensated care across the state.
What this means: A government that answers to people — not insiders — with real transparency and accountability.
Doug’s plan would ban elected officials from trading individual stocks while in office, promote citizen-led ballot initiatives and referendums, expand early voting, end practices that weaken accountability, and empower local communities to solve local issues.
What this means: Let the people decide — and invest revenue here instead of sending it across state lines.
Doug’s plan would put a state lottery before voters so Alabamians can decide for themselves, and invest lottery revenue in voter-chosen priorities like education, healthcare, and infrastructure.
What this means: A fair shot at a safe place to live — without being priced out of your community.
Doug’s plan would increase the supply of affordable housing by partnering with local communities, support smart growth so working families are not pushed out as costs rise, and pair housing solutions with better wages and expanded economic opportunity.
