Our take on the primary candidates

On Monday, we celebrate Memorial Day. A day set aside to honor the men and women who lost their lives fighting to protect the freedoms we enjoy as Americans.

And one of those freedoms we often take for granted is the right to vote in elections. On Tuesday, the Democratic and Republican parties will hold primary elections for statewide offices, including everything from governor to supreme court justice. Several key district office, including circuit court judge and district attorney, are on the ballot as well...

...U.S. Representative, 2nd District. On this Republican ticket, the standout challenger to incumbent Bobby Bright (D) is Martha Roby. She is committed to conservative values and effective government reform and would pose a real challenge to Bright in the general election.
